What are you willing to get rid of in order to make sure the wealthy stay fat and happy?
Jon Kyl sez: Yes, we have a budget problem, but we need to deal with it by cutting programs, not by ending tax cuts for the wealthy.

That's right, if you don't want to cut your unemployment so the rich can continue to save money, then you might as well say that you hate America. Cuz you do, Jon Kyl says so.

This question should be asked of every leader, every person in the media, every cultural icon, etc.:

"What would you be willing to cut from the programs that keep people in their homes, food in their pantries, and heat during the winter just so some people can save a couple extra dollars during tax day?"

Everyone should have an answer to that question.

My answer:

NOTHING.

How about you?

3. My life, my fortune and my sacred honor.
Well, perhaps not for that.

4. Oh golly, just about everything
The wealthy are soooo beleaguered! If I have to give up my life-sustaining medications, food, why even the very air I breathe so that the overrich aren't inconvenienced in any way. Use my festering corpse for a footstool or to level a tippy table. My life for you, rich folks!

6. I could send them some used cat litter.
That's about all I would be willing to part with.

9. First get rid of the wealthy
And if that doesn't do it, stop all these asinine military adventures in every miserable part of the world.

Of course it's the wars that are making the wealthy fat and happy, so maybe that should be first.
