for all instead of just the non-rich.

Does this mean now that you get 3 years of unemployment benefits? Holy shit.

No, it means the recession will now become a depression since the uber-wealthy refuse to pay even a small portion of their share.

But more importantly, this means the Republican party sold their platform for cold, hard cash.

If you've got money in stocks, bonds, or any other non-material investment, you better move it or lose it. The crash is coming soon.

Actually, if you look at the numbers, the rich are the ones who pay the disproportionate share, while the poor contribute nothing yet take so much.

The top 10% of wage earners pay 70%.



What we have here now is people who can sit on their ass for 3 years before they have to even try to get a job. People we pay money to hang out at the mall, go to starbucks, watch Jerry Springer all day.

and the Depression was coming anyway. Obama and the democrats just put a bandaid on it to delay it from happening (market manipulation) and to make it worse in the long run through accumulating more debt, making america less business friendly and paying back their union masters.

By extending the tax cuts the Republicans have added $700 BILLION DOLLARS TO THE DEFICIT OVER THE NEXT TEN YEARS.

Pretty clear they are all liars, at least when they speak aloud.

That's less than the stimulus plan and will probably stimulate the economy more than it did.

Your political philosophy is bankrupt when you think a depression is a desirable outcome.
