3. Yes. When you see the video playback, look carefully at Boner's eyes (you won't go blind, I promise)
They tell the tale with regard to taxing the rich, or as boner calls them "The American People".

12. I want to see these people bleed.
Big money goes around the world
Big money underground
Big money got a mighty voice
Big money make no sound
Big money pull a million strings
Big money hold the prize
Big money weave a mighty web
Big money draw the flies
Sometimes pushing people around
Sometimes pulling out the rug
Sometimes pushing all the buttons
Sometimes pulling out the plug
It's the power and the glory
It's a war in paradise
It's a Cinderella story
On a tumble of the dice
Big money goes around the world
Big money take a cruise
Big money leave a mighty wake
Big money leave a bruise
Big money make a million dreams
Big money spin big deals
Big money make a mighty head
Big money spin big wheels
Sometimes building ivory towers
Sometimes knocking castles down
Sometimes building you a stairway
Lock you underground
It's that old-time religion
It's the kingdom they would rule
It's the fool on television
Getting paid to play the fool
Big money goes around the world
Big money give and take
Big money done a power of good
Big money make mistakes
Big money got a heavy hand
Big money take control
Big money got a mean streak
Big money got no soul...

10. If lower taxes on the rich lead to job creation, why don't we have more jobs?
Perhaps we need to tell the rich and the big corporations that they better start creating some jobs in THIS nation or they will face some truly draconian tax increases. Perhaps a return to the 92% tax rate of the Eisenhower administration.


Today, the top income tax rate is 35 percent, starting at $373,650 for individuals and couples.

By contrast, during the eight years of the Eisenhower presidency, the top rate averaged roughly 90 percent, typically hitting individuals making $200,000 a year or couples making $400,000 a year. In 2010 dollars, that's equivalent to $1.6 million for an individual and $3.2 million for a couple. Someone making the 1954 equivalent of $373,650 in today's money would have paid a tax rate of 72 percent back then.

11. C'mon, if the job creators used that money to create jobs, then they wouldn't have as much money to
to create jobs with!


Sheesh! :)

14. I think they want to force the Constitutional argument

just so they can hold an impeachment, again.


The Republican party is broken.
