What's Happening

Soak the Rich.

We live off the rich in this country. They send us to school, they pay the lion's and the lioness's share of taxes, and they donate the bulk of money to charities.

It's war.

The question I want to ask the hate-the-rich crowd is: What is it about someone else's success that threatens you so? Is it that it says more about you than it does about them?

The questions I'd like to ask Obama are: Where have you been for the last 25 years? How can you not be aware that giant social programs hamstring an economy and destroy the vitality and verve of a populace? I understand that you want to have control over how we all live, but where the hell do you get off doing so?

Well Obama and his buddy Geithner just make up lies to cover up this fact. I watched part of a Geithner speech at the haircutting place a couple weeks ago. He was talking about the recovery plan must be strong, and cannot relent until "full recovery has been achieved." He then had the gall to say that the Great Depression and the 90s Japanese recession lasted too long because government "put on the brakes too soon." Umm, when the hell did FDR put on the brakes? Mr. Flanagan taught as a false view of American history that painted FDR as a hero, but even he never would've said that FDR "put on the brakes." I guess the lie that FDR "ended the depression" is too obviously wrong, considering that after he had been president for 8 years we still had I think 18% unemployment. So they've admitted that didn't end the depression, and covering it by saying that he wasn't fascist enough. These guys are absolutely determined to avoid truth. Just wait 'til they start telling us that 2+2=5.

Jesus, I need to go back to reading my comments before hittin publish.

I meant:

He was talking about *how* the recovery plan must be strong,

and,

So *they're admitting* that FDR didn't end the depression, *but* covering it by saying that he *failed because he* wasn't fascist enough.
