for the world anymore. Used to be the USA didn't compete with europe (as it was rebuilding after the war), with the soviet bloc (they couldn't build anything), with Asia (china, India, Korea, Japan have since becomes the greatest of economies), but they sold stuff made in the USA all over the world. That is why growth is down. The rich already have tax cuts and they have not created any jobs. They have QE3 and have not built factories. This is just bull****.

if after loosing the election, in effect dropping 380 million down a rat hole, supporting American Crossroads, and other right wing causes....
that the Kochs and other monied interests, will spend any money with the likes of Newt, Grover, or Dick Armey...all the home made signs in hell all the mobility scooters that social security will allow, will just disappear without some professional guidance and someone to foot the bill for the wrapped tour busses..

Tea Party Two might find itself confronted by Occupy Two.

I would not like to see that.

We just voted. We the people expressed our will very clearly. Why does Norquist want to intimidate us into taking a path other than the one we chose -- which is to tax the rich?
