Republican Bailout="BIRTH TAX"
Edited on Tue Sep-30-08 12:58 PM by fascisthunter
...remember the republicans marketing the Estate Tax as a "Death Tax"? That of course was not true....

Well, their plan to bailout Wall Street is a "Birth Tax" on every child born.

on edit: ="BIRTH TAX" comes from a caller on Thom Hartmann's show

I'm only passing this one on from hearing a caller on Thom Hartmann's show say it first. But I do agree... this is excellent framing....
