3. Thats the beauty of this, things are so screwed up it's implied.
No need to elaborate, it's universally understood. Perhaps the graphic might be a roulette wheel to be on the safe side!

4. Hey, you can only get so much done in one term.
Let's see-

Oil/Gas Industries - check.
Private Medical Ins. Co's - check
Munitions/Defense - check
2% top income brackets - check

OK, who hasn't eaten yet at the trough? Oh yeah,

Brokerage Houses - check

5. And TODAY they announced a big increase in Medicare premiums.


Many have also figured out that the much-ballyhooed Medicare prescription drug plan is a bunch of hooey.

Old folks vote, guys. Be sure to tell this to all the old folks you know.

6. If they'd privatised accounts in 2000, they'd be down 7% on average now.
And dont' forget that with the lack of OT pay, people's contributions will drop, as will their highest earnings, which determine your final collection amount.
