Our lawmakers

[fadedrose]

We can't blame billionaires and millionaires for not paying their share of taxes. Our lawmakers made this possible.

Jobloss nationwide is not workers' fault. Our lawmakers made the laws and trade agreements that made this possible.

Cutting SS and Medicare is not sick old peoples' fault. Our lawmakers made the decision to use the funds paid to SS for everything but.

If everyone is to share in the decline in spending, what are the lawmakers going to contribute?

Shouldn't they be docked in their pays and pensions for causing the messes to begin with, going to war with the wrong country, etc.?

Capitalism rewards those who make progress and money. Our lawmakers, both Republicans and Democrats, are NOT capitalists. They would have to have made laws to downsize their number, salaries, retirements, and other benefits as a result of their joint-effort shabby economic numbers.

What a bunch of hypocrites....saying "we lost...bla-bla," "everyone must do with less (heehee, except us, of course)." Sickening.

I think we should all demand a capitalistic form of government just to see these guys and gals stand in the employment line because of poor job performance. Just showing up all dressed up every day isn't helping anyone but their department stores and hairdressers.

Ya, blame the President. Not a good leader, it's all his fault - not the hard-working Senate and Congress doing god-knows what besides feathering their own nests..

1. No, we CAN blame billionaires and their minions ...

they bribed the pols to do their dirty work.

2. They passed laws with loopholes and trade agreements that

screwed us. That McConnell and other Reps only believe that companies should profit, not the country - although profit in both instances depends on good judgment and good intentions. Nobody in Congress deserves a salary for any of the last years - when Bush was in and after....

We should not be in this mess - jobs, deficits, etc., and they tell us they're working hard....makes me so dammad...
