17. We are not going back...to the bushes tax breaks for the wealthy?

Didn't the Democratic majority in the house and senate approve just that during their last lame-duck session? Didn't Obama sign an extension on the bushes tax give aways to the uber rich? All the Democrats had to do was NOTHING and the uber rich tax give aways would have, well, gone away. Instead they extended them.

That horse has already left the barn and the Democrats were chasing it.

I'm voting Democratic but only because Democrats don't kiss as much uber rich a** as do RepubliCONS. But they can't pretend to be the man of the people during elections and then be the a** kissers of the uber rich the rest of the time without being called out on it.
