Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. That's dirt. Yup, us super rich cats wlll give them all the dirt they want that they clean from our houses or gardens. We ultra rich people are still not rich enough! We need another huge tax cut to ease our burden even more. Just tack the deficit it will create on the 10 trillion national debt that the suckers will have to deal with later.
And remember that medical benefits for all Americans is communistic. So vote against anything that keeps us from making even more money off health insurance premiums. Keep the industry deregulated so we can cherry pick the clients we can make the most profit on and provide the least service for. All regulation of commerce is communist and bad. We need to be able to steal, imbezzle, divert, and otherwise do what we want with the markets to improve our bottom line. Minimum wage is evil, it cuts into our wealth. Also, keep our borders open so we can maintain that flow of cheap labor.

To those who have much, much is expected! Not so for most of America's rich.
Remember those Contract to America lies too! The Party of the Rich, the repug party! 10 million kids vetoed out of health care by the claim of sociolism, what deceiving heartless hogshit! Only developed nation in the world witout some effort at universal healthcare! Not unusual for a party that feels some Americans are more equal than other Americans, and all Americans are more human than the rest of the world! Peace on earth, goodwill to all - just another Repug facade!

Look at the disparity in worker pay. A CEO now makes in a day what the "line worker" makes in a year. In the early sixties the figure was ten fold lower.
As Karl Marx warned of the capitalist system, "The rich get richer..."

lets define poor, does 2 cars, an x box, plasma tv's and dvd players make you poor. This country has no real concept of poor. You want to be a pauper elect Hillary, tax rates for EVERYONE are the lowest they have been in yrs, and if you think the working poor and middle class are going to be exempt from higher taxes think again. The only one around Hillary who doesn't pay taxes is Bill.

...if Hillary can be judged by her Husband's performance, minus an illict affair between consenting adults by which Hillary still hung by her man, then the US as a whole, at all levels would prosper.
Bill did leave office with a 65% approval rating inspite of every effort by Repugs to ruin him. Unlike Dumya: a needless war with thousands of Americans maimed for life, endless war, debt over 10 trillion when he leaves office, inflation almost rampant, average family income dropped, millions more in poverty, millions more uninsured medically, millions more having lost their pension, government revenue in 2005 equal to what we collected in 1959, world loss of any prestige we had, environmental efforts trashed, justice trashed, Geneva trashed, the Constitution trashed, good Americans trashed for opposing Dumya .....

The proposal to which Gov. Huckabee referred (fair tax) is not a 23 percent tax, but rather a 30 percent tax. And it is revenue-neutral only through an accounting trick. It will collect more money from those earning between $15,000 and $200,000 per year and less from those earning more than $200,000 per year.
