crumbling our country!!).

12. Why is it

that if it's bad for America, the Repugs are for it?

14. Didyou hear the Repug caller who hated the fact that Dems are

calling taxes INVESTMENTS?

He also said that money wasn't the gov't's money it was the people's money

I'm waiting for the day when the Dem response is - the gov't IS the people. And by making these INVESTMENTS the PEOPLE are helping one another achieve a common goal,whatever that may determined as being agreed upon by said people.
