[NewHampster]

6. Yeah, his dad was a floor supervisor in a textile mill...

10. Actually I believe he worked himself up the ladder

but why stop attempts at someone being disingenuous. :eyes:

[saltpoint]

7. Yes he did, as have many others whose toil is worth less than the smallest

percentage of inheritance tax paid by the >1 percent of the population Bush's tax cuts pamper and protect.

I would offer that as a context for his emphasis on his parents' livelihood.

[Armstead]

8. Yes, and I think Hillary Clinton kept the country going for 35 years

[NewHampster]

9. so true

And that Hopemongering should be against the law.
