Jules Feiffer has described Tony Auth best, "His perspective is that of a bemused and often angry comic historian. Irony, never a favorite form with Americans, is his meat and potatoes. He is not smug, and though he can be mean, he is never mean-spirited. Auth is a moralist and an optimist. He insists, even in this day and age, that hope is more than the name of a right-wing comedian or the shtick of a reactionary president."

Fits McCain, it looks like a tv form the 1940’s. Perfectly fits McCain! LOL

“Trickle Down”, hmmm … I seem to have heard that some where before (sarcasm aside, I remember the results of the clown who used too).

Only a few caught the real significance of McCain’s statement arguing against Spreading the Wealth!

”“Trickle Down”, hmmm … I seem to have heard that some where before (sarcasm aside, I remember the results of the clown who used too).
whether you (or we) like it or not it is all ‘trickle down economics” take a look around you, the reason the economy is at an stand still is because the Banks and investors–the ones with the capital– stop investing and pulled the money away from the markets and into safe accounts.
The more you tax these investors, the less they invest, and the worse off every one else is…
And if you think “Socialist” policies are better, take a look at any of the Europeans, or Canada, they are all worse off, or even better, take a look at the latest example of Failed Socialism, Hugo Chavez’s Venezuela, even though he’s swimming in over-priced oil, Chavez has destroy the country’s economy, food shelves are empty, unemployment and crime worse than ever in the History of the country and they are now producing less oil than ever before after the Government took over most of the oil production……
You want to support a Socialist Obama that in conjunction with an all Democrat congress will turn this country to the left, go ahead, but don’t cry later when they double-tax your income to give it away to the lazy bums that refuse to better themselves and blame everyone else for their personal shortcomings even though they have been enjoying taxpayers handout already for decades……

8 years of giving money by the handful to the rich didn’t do the trick.
They kept the money and forgot to invest and create the “Trickle Down”…
If you want to burn this country to ashes, vote McLame… Continuing His Liar Majesty economic path will be suicidal…and that’s what McLame wants to do…

Mach, Been to Europe lately?
Corosive Frog said, about 1 year ago
Been to Canada, Mach?
We don’t have thousands of murders per year plus we have free healthcare.
And will you put the Chavez scarecrow away? No one wants to turn any place into Venezuela.

Mach, tattoo this backwards on your forehead or something: Trickle down doesn’t work. Ask an economist. Reagan tried it, and the gap between rich and poor widened significantly for the first time in American history. Bush has been shoveling money to the rich, and we’re getting an even bigger gap – and that was before the crash.

well, forgive me if I don’t take your word for it, I’ve read many of your posting here, and if you represent what is coming out of Higher Leaning Institutions like Harvard today, America’s future is doomed, the only silver lining for me, if it can be called that, is that I’ll be long gone by then…..

I dunno, maybe if we had held a continental congress and invited all the countries of the western hemisphere to join the United States and transform North, Pan, and South America into the true UNITED STATES of AMERICA, period.
Could be that we might then come up with more than enough drive and resources, both physical and mental, to make America the paradise on earth it could be from stem to stern, wipe out our combined Continental debt and become a model for the rest of the world
Naaaaaaah!

well if your lame dig is directed at me, I’m actually more interested in the generations coming behind me, that’s why I confront you Liberals/Socialist/Communist when ever I spot you until I kick the bucket, the reason I didn’t mention it before is because I’m not writing a Newspaper article here!!!

I don’t do personal attacks number one.
There’s no point to it anymore than there is to lying.
Why would you think it was about you?
I actually left off: And when we’ve made our perfect world, we can close the doors to keep it pure!

And who the hell said I was a liberal?
I was a Union Steward for fifteen years!
Machado said, about 1 year ago
well, please accept my apologies then, and I confess I don’t know what a ‘Union Steward’ is, or was? But I’ll look it up..

A union steward watches for and grieves contract violations.
To give the simplest answer.
Thanks and I knew that you simply misunderstood my aiming point.
Just don’t don’t label me liberal.

Mach, I don’t expect you to take my word for it – that’s clear enough from your postings. But the data comes from the US Census Bureau. Here’s one link that describes it nicely: http://tpmcafe.talkingpointsmemo.com/2008/08/26/trickle_downrip/

US census? Your link points to a leftist Hack with a computer and tracing paper…
And I’ve heard your leftist friends “census” arguments before, I’d like to point out that the US population also grew by 30-50 million…….and that there will always be ‘poor’ in America and the world, just for the simple fact that none of the Economic Models* invented by mankind (or Aliens)anywhere in the world can keep up with the **OVER_POPULATION explosion….It is just not possible…
In the near future Humans across the over crowded world will be fighting for Drinking water not oil…..

That future is getting nearer all the time. Why aren’t we being advised to put a moratorium on the most perfect WMD ever made: Babies!
I warned my daughter that we would suffer massive food shortages and riots by 2050 back in 1991.
I’ve had to revise that.
It may even happen before Apophis arrives on Friday the thirteenth of April 2029!
