Woman: That guys rich! Why didn't you charge him anything?
Barack Obama: He'll use the extra money to hire people at low wages. We'll charge them. Hey! There's an Arab dude! Get out there and kick his butt!

It’s worked wonders in Texas - tax breaks for yacht owners, layoffs for teachers. And of course, massive deficits, which seem to follow Republicans where ever they go.

True, Mr. Rall, but the situation was worse under Bush-Dick & Ronald Reagan.

“You all know the numbers: almost half of all households pay little or no taxes and many actually get back more than they pay in thru credits and subsidies like the EIC. ”

^ When half of all households have little or no income, how the heck are they supposed to pay taxes?
I’d much rather see the working class have a fairer share of income than having the government re-distribute it.

Merm, your kowtowing to the wealthy is ludicrous & pathetic. One of the reasons we have a huge federal deficit is because Bush-Dick lowered tax rates on the wealthy. If the wealthy paid a 50% or 70% rate on their income (as they did in the prosperous 1960s), we would have much more money to use to help the disadvantaged.
Please: Stop bending over for the wealthy and realize that your allegiance is with the working class.
