Train wreck is right. Really the only good news at this point is the economy is better then Jimmy Carter’s (no gas lines yet) and in everything else it is worst. He caved on missile defense with the Russians, might of leaked the Israelis plans for Iran. Lets not forget his civil rights record. Starting with letting the blank panther party skate, the whole beer summit garbage when he accused the cop of racism, speaking out on Zimmerman causing a bounty on Zimmerman’s head and causing trouble with the Supreme Court. When will it end. What I missed?
This is what the country looked like under Bush the Incompetent. It is what Obama inherited. We would be doing better if the Republicants in congress cared more for our country than they do for their rich friends.
“Republicants in congress” Don’t forget how the D voted against a Balanced Budget Amendment. And the Black Caucus voted with R to lower Estate Taxes. Look at the IRS Tax Code Loopholes. It has gotten D votes year after year. These Loopholes have been added over a couple decades. YES, All the experienced politicians must be replaced!
Remember that the Rebuplicans in Congress said that their Number One Priority was to make sure that Obama was a one term President.Fixing the problems with the economy came in a distant last.
How about a sales tax that is across the board for everyone.?The poor would be allowed some kind of assistance to counterbalance the tax on essentials such as food. The rich would pay more tax because they buy more expensive things. Drug dealers and other criminals would pay their taxes, because after all they like to buy expensive stuff. Yes I know the argument of black markets etc. , but it would be miniscule compared to 60,000plus pages of IRS laws that allow interest groups tax breaks.The main reason this is not done because closing down the tax industry is like shutting down the 3 main auto makers in the U.S. It would put lawyers, accountants, H and R block, Liberty tax, the IRS out of business leaving hundreds of thousands unemployed.
Good GRIEF, here we go with that % junk!!! Why doesn’t EVERYONE pay their “fair share” (say 10%). If you make a million…you pay 10%, if you make NOTHING…you pay 10% of nothing. IF you make an average of 40-50 K as most or, at least, many Americans families make right now, on average, they pay 10%. It isn’t a difficult concept to grasp unless you’re one of the 1% who are mentally challenged or too busy smokin’ dope within the occupy movement. HA!!!!
As usual…fantastic cartoon Mr. Ramirez!!! Keep on upsetting the left/WRONG minded!!! They can either learn from your wisdom or remain ignorant of facts or reality. I don’t care if they go away sad, mad or had….as long as they simply GO AWAY! Then…we’ll have the GREATNESS of the USA back!

Oh, yes, lets go with the CONservative plan. Cut taxes on job creators who don’t create jobs. Brilliant idea.

Michael Ramirez loves the 1%. He wants to convince the 99% they should should pass laws that favor the 1%.
