Its the equality, stupid !!!

Just watched Maher and I am so livid. That former Bush I aid is a perfect example of the smugness of the Rebumblicans. He thinks that the concept of equality is all a joke. He kept harping on the fact the "the Buffet rule will not balance the budget meme" and mischaracterizing Obama's positions at every turn.

Romney says he might get rid of HUD. Well that agency was created to deal with some of the housing disparities and inequalities which were made apparent by the rioting in the 60s. If we don't deal with the inequality in the American economy - AND FAST - those riots are going to look like a backyard Barbecue!!!
