Tom DeLay has lined up an entire cabal of GOP cretins like Rep. Dean Heller from Nevada and Steve King from Iowa, who have expressed their opinion that lazy, shiftless American workers are so thrilled to receive their unemployment checks that they have no incentive to look for work. Its no surprise that Republicans like DeLay were the ones most responsible for moving jobs out of the U.S. to sweatshop havens like Saipan and India. In fact, the little runt actually helped American corporations get tax breaks for outsourcing jobs.

1. This meme has been in the air awhile

It's called Producerism: in this case, Right wing producerism.
Good real Amerikanz just hate to pay their taxes and have it go "welfare queens" And we all know who they are,right?
One hears it every time racist Huckabee speaks and on hate radio now daily.

It's not even dog whistle.

13. This is the same line of bullshit the GOPers used when Reagan

wrecked the economy.

Recycled swill...

2. Put Tom and his kind

in a privatized maximum security prison, He is an enemy of the state. Take his money and property under the RICO act..

[dotymed]

4. Really

Who (in their right mind) wants to work for minimum wage when the unemployment they paid for, pays them more money not to work? What happened to the legislation that was supposed to make it easy for all Americans to Unionize? I am sure that went the way of the public option. Fuck the teahadists. The other 95% need to take to the streets...

[eagertolearn]

6. Unfortunately many of the other 95% who had their taxes lowered think that

they had them raised...can't read their income tax forms..:banghead:

[Enthusiast]

3. Right on! nt

[Tom_Foolery]

5. Well, let's see. I worked my ass off for years...

and watched as the REAL lazy people kissed ass and made the big salaries. Now I'm unemployed, and I'm lazy? Fuck you, GOP!!

[Webster Green]

7. Excellent call out.

Why isn't the despicable little bug man in prison, anyway?

Seems like his case just mysteriously vanished.

He surely must have demanded a speedy trial. :wtf:

[eagertolearn]

8. What I hear from people locally is that "we can't increase taxes on the

wealthy because they are the ones that supply our jobs". Wake up and smell the tea...the jobs are overseas! Do they actually think that "these" wealthy Americans promoting the tea party (Americans for Prosperity) and actually fighting to help them? Do they notice that they don't even quite know what they are fighting for? These tea partiers who are fighting the fight for these few very wealthy people are just going to get poorer and more dependent on them for their few bisquits that may be thrown to them!!!!!!!!! Great video by the way.thanks.

11. That was the Great Ruse of the latter 20th century...

The notion that giving tax breaks to the wealthy would enable them to invest in US jobs. Reaganism and "trickle-down" economics and their finest.

What a joke!

We gave tax breaks to the wealthy and all they did was either squirrel them away in offshore tax havens or invest in overseas companies.

And the joke's on us!

I want to have a bumper sticker printed:

Republicans:
We tried it your way;
It didn't work

[olegramps]

9. Delay represents everything that is wrong with the country.

The rat faced little bastard should have exterminated himself.

[Vermontgrown]

10. Lawmakers on capitol hill are lazy.

What the fuck do those assholes do all day to earn, what, around $170000 a year. Let's see, Shrub had tim off during his 8 years in office that amounted to 3 years worth of vacation, all paid for by you and me. The rest of the lazy assholes in Washington DC have staffs that do their work for them. Besides all that those pricks are the reason most people are laid off. So That googly eyed Delay should "kiss my ass" an shut the fuck up.

[Plucketeer]

12. I really DO think that Thief Tom should be dancing with the stars!

Now if we could only get our hands on a rocket to send him to the stars! :nuke:

[Hubert Flottz]

14. I think I know how tom killed all them dog pecker gnats and roaches

He sexed them to death.

Edit...People like Hot Tub Tommy who have stolen enough to be in a tax bracket that, thanks to Bush, is tax exempt, shouldn't worry about what working American's tax dollars pay for.
