There goes that line of lame rhetoric. I'm curious to see what dumb line Obama's re-election team dreams up next.

Obama... Accomplished in just 3.2 years what Bush couldn't do in 8! (counts double for killing bin Laden)

You know, I think Drake is onto something here. We should create a soaring, skyrocketing poverty rate and undermine the middle class quality of life even further, just to save some money.

BUT, we will keep corporate welfare, and continue to give more tax breaks to corporations and wealthy individuals.

The middle class is by far the most spoiled group in American society. It's time they paid their fair share.

The middle class kind of gets ****ed. The poor get freebies, the rich pay lobbyists to get special perks and tax breaks, while the middle class isn't poor enough to get freebies (at least until they get old) but not rich enough to get special perks.

[Tupac Shakur]

The middle class gets far more in freebies and tax breaks than either the poor or the rich.

Tupac knows far more than you do about what various groups pay into the government and get out of it than you do...

How does it feel to be replaced by a machine?

Soon only the machines will work, they will repair themselves, and then it will be time for the cylon revolution.

My mortgage interest deduction alone was roughly 15% of my gross pay.
