What they hell do they think tinkle down economics is?

Oh yea, I guess you can piss on the people, cheat the poor, admonish those who are in need but that's okay...

Actions speak louder than words and your words are hollow.

Fuck these bastards!

3. hypocritical
A man I know who is a wingnut nonpareil despite being intelligent enough to be a lawyer told me yesterday that he is going to use his disabled Vietnam vet status to apply for free money from the U.S. gov't to start a small business. But he supports Glenn Beck.

Cognitive dissonance.

2. Here is what trickle down economics is.
The 1% sit at a banquet table. The 99% sit on the floor. The 99% are forced to put more and more food on the banquet table hoping that the more food the 1% get the more will fall off the table onto the floor for the 99%.

5. They're good at hollow words...
They're not smart enough for anything meaningful.

They don't have any good ideas...

8. Well if I understand the 1% correctly
trickle down economics will work, they just don't have enough yet to let it trickle down. If we cut their taxes some more, and eliminate capitol gains and estate taxes entirely then they will have enough to start creating jobs and boosting the economy. :shrug:
