would tax the rich we could create lower deficits. It takes REVENUES! And the only folks with revenues are RICH people.

And what is causing all of these deficits? Could it be PENTAGON SPENDING???????? That's where most of the money goes: Death and Destruction. Stop it. I don't think we're making any friends by killing women and children in other countries, do you?

Where is FDR when we need him...he looked into the Corporate Machine and said, "I welcome your hatred."

I just want to watch the 2 Big 2 Fail fall. Then can we use Bitcoins?
