Merry Christmas, Rich People!!!

[Telly Savalas]

Santa Claus left you a couple of tax cuts in your stocking:

Oh, but a bunch of nasty Scrooges we call "economists" are trying to dampen our spirits:

But some budget analysts say the flourish of tax cutting badly undermines the recent shows of fiscal discipline. Last month's budget-cutting bill would save $50 billion over five years by imposing new fees on Medicaid recipients, trimming the food stamp rolls, squeezing student lenders and cutting federal child support enforcement.

"Undermines recent shows of fiscal discipline," you say? Well, bah fucking humbug to you, assholes! If you're so obsessed with your precious little interest rates staying in the single digits for the next decade, I'm sure we can cut food stamps some more. Poor people eat too fucking much anyway.

Oh yeah, you poor people and middle class folks out there....fuck you! This is Bush Country.

God bless America!
God bless the tax cuts!
God bless the defecit!
God bless poverty!
God bless spending billions to occupy Iraq!

Merry Christmas!!!

1. Aren't you glad you're in Canada now, Telly???

It isn't perfect, but it's a sight better than this sorry excuse for a country.

I can't wait to join you!

2. I love both countries.

But what these assholes are trying to do to the U.S. just breaks my heart.

4. The Reps. were so self-righteous

The news had a clip of Republican legislators saying "everybody will benefit from this cut" and "average families need this & deserve to receive it". Yeah, I don't know how the average family can buy Christmas presents without their stock dividend tax cut. :eyes:

6. Ahh -- the greedy UPPER middle class

Would you be so happy if you were making 28K/year?

And oh- you don't use food stamps so you don't care if they're cut? Give me a break. Or better yet, let me know where you live and your schedule so I can come break in and steal some of those presents under that abundant tree of yours.

Just for the record, I'm not on ANY kind of assistance.
