The lesser of two evils.

[hfojvt]

89. take a good look at some of the choices being offered

Republicans - keep 100% of the Bush tax cuts
Obama/Democrats - keep 73% of the Bush tax cuts

pretty much two bad choices. The option of only keeping 20% of the Bush tax cuts? - off the table


Republicans - $108 billion in tax cuts for the top 1%, $163 billion for the top 5%, $31 billion for the bottom 40%
Obama/Democrats - $40 billion in tax cuts for the top 1%, $80 billion for the top5%, $42 billion for the bottom 40%


so favor the rich by 5 to one, or favor the rich by 2 to 1. The option of NOT favoring the rich? - off the table.


Republicans - Ryan budget
Obama/Democrats - Simpson/Bowles


Good choice there, between totally evil and evil. Again, an option that does not cut taxes for the rich and benefits for the poor and elderly? - off the table.


But in a Democracy, the working class has a choice. We can vote for Republicans - and get raped with a chainsaw. Or we can vote for Democrats - and instead get raped with a power drill.

But at least we have a choice.
