and you really can't trust any Democrat that would advocate this. They are attached to Wall Street also. Many are Blue Dog conservative Democrats in red Districts. Just because they have Democrat beside their names, doesn't mean they support Democratic ideas. They attack the whole base by calling them extremists. When they do so, they are talking about me. I don't consider myself a leftist extremist at all. I'm in the main stream with most of the people that elected President Obama, and I don't like to be lied to. The extreme right can be lied to by corporate interests but I can't. I'm too educated and believe in science. I know how to balance a check book too. This is a scam by my math!
