It should be on every newspaper and media outlet but instead we have the culture wars. The baggers were rolled into office by appealing to the lowest emotions possible, fear and hatred. \\

But it was for a similiar money related purpose, just like this, to deny moderates and Democrats the numbers to allow the Bush Tax Cuts to sunset, as intended. While these issues truly do cause the objects of hatred and scorn lifelong damage, that's just part of the price the 1% is glad to inflict to get their way.
