I'm angry. Ted Kennedy had it right.
I'm tired of being screwed.

Dammit.

Democrats and Republicans, how much more do I have to give up?

Medicare? Social Security? Pensions?

WHEN IS ENOUGH ENOUGH?

I've already worked for forty plus years. I've paid money into EVERY GOD DAMN CHECK to Social Security and Medicare. Saint Ronnie DOUBLED the SS tax from 6.4% to 12.8%

The Messiah Ronald Reagan RAISED TAXES, assholes.

Senator Ted Kennedy said, "When does the greed stop?"

This was an argument to raise the federal minimum wage from $5.15 to $7.25.

:grr:

The THEFT of pensions; the OUTRIGHT GREED.

The news has been canceled. No one cares. Except the affected.

R.I.P., Amerika.

Sweet Jesus, I hate these people and please help me find the path to acceptance. Or not.

My head just exploded, so excuse me, I have a mess to clean up, thanks to these filthy bastards without conscience.

1. reagan's formula, starting in california, was to reduce income taxes
for his rich friends & himself while raising fees on everything, state college tuitions & eliminating social services for the helpless & voiceless. This policy was continued on a federal level once he was in the Whitehouse. I'm actually uncertain whether he personally even knew what was going on in his name or not, since he was generally regarded as a vacant simple know nothing boob at the time.

3. During IKE my tree blew down. I cut it to a stump & it is growing. Reagan isn't! :)
It's been less than two years and my live oak tree has grown
12 feet out of the side of the stump

I doubt if Reaguns is trying to come put the side of his coffin. Sorry, that imagery is horrible...
