This place in many ways has gone off the deep end. RE: Used car salesman

101. the trouble is, though, that this is not just a mostly moderate country

it is also a mostly DUPED country.

It is a country that gets distracted by reality TV and knows very little about most policy, and has a media that makes no attempt to educate them, and would, in fact, have to educate themselves first.

So I get outraged too when there is a national "debate" between
The Democratic Tax cut plan - which gives 50% of its benefits to the top 20%, and
The Republican Tax cut plan - which gives 70% of its benefits to the top 20%.

I mean, yes, certainly 50% IS better than 70%, but I try to scream from my little soapbox that there should be OTHER alternatives and that the Democratic Tax Cut plan actually sucks. It's kinda hard for me to NOT get outraged when my party and a bunch of supposedly liberal pundits start pushing a bunch of b.s.
