The wealthy to the GOP: "Tax us more."

[DinoDoc]

You Republicans are so cute. 'Yes unemployment fell, but it fell for the wrong reasons and it'll never last and Obama is a BAD MAN!!'

I'm not sure how building a lower unemployment rate among a shrinking labor force can be considered a great accomplishment. Could you explain it to me?

[MrFun]

The unemployment rate did decline in November, but for the “wrong” reasons as US households reported job losses and the labor force shrank. (again. /me) We think it’s important to note, however, that the household survey was conducted one week earlier than usual (as is typical every November) so households were asked about labor market conditions in the week immediately following Hurricane Sandy. This means household employment is likely to snap back in December.

No decrease in unemployment counts because the president is a black man. I get it now.

Anybody know why the president's race is so important to MrFun? He brings it up in almost every thread, and he's the only one to do so.

[Hauldren Collider]

An excellent question. MrFun, why would we hate Obama because he is black when there are so many better reasons?

Maybe he has jungle fever.

Yes, he's going to make rich people pay taxes. That's all he really needs to do to make Republicans think he's out to destroy America.

MrFun, if President Obama is doing such a good job for the working poor, why have median household incomes dropped since the Bush Years? Or is the Census Bureau racist too?

Because he's pretty much exactly like every president you've had for the last few decades, yet for some reason his election triggered a mass wave of fury across conservatism and sparked the creation of the tea party. Obviously it wasn't because of his race, it must have been...

erm..

maybe....

..his haircut?

[kentonio]

Meh, stupid double posts.

As the space is already wasted, I'll use it for this picture of a dog driving a car.

Nah, racism does not exist in America, don't ya know?

[dannubis]

Given the economic record of the Admin thus far, why should I give credence to their defense of that economic proposal?

Given your record I bet you wouldn't care about their record period.

[The Mad Monk]

SEN. RAND PAUL: I have yet another thought on how we can fix this. Why don't we let the Democrats pass whatever they want? If they are the party of higher taxes, all the Republicans vote present and let the Democrats raise taxes as high as they want to raise them, let Democrats in the Senate raise taxes, let the president sign it and then make them own the tax increase. And when the economy stalls, when the economy sputters, when people lose their jobs, they know which party to blame, the party of high taxes. Let's don't be the party of just almost as high taxes.

LARRY KUDLOW, CNBC: Some people have called that the doomsday scenario. Others have said, 'Look, it's a strategic retreat on the Republicans' behalf.' WWould you vote present for that in the Senate if that came up?

RAND PAUL: Yes, I don't think we have to in the Senate. In the House, they have to because the Democrats don't have the majority. In the Senate, I'm happy not to filibuster it, and I will announce tonight on your show that I will work with Harry Reid to let him pass his big old tax hike with a simple majority if that's what Harry Reid wants, because then they will become the party of high taxes and they can own it.

I like that plan

It would end up being the fault of the GOP when the economy crashed. Though I would hope the Obama voters got fired 1st.

Basically. I mean I've spent a lot of time arguing against the racism charge with my left leaning friends, but its pretty damned compelling considering how moderate he is.
