If you use Facebook, you might want to "like" Opinionated Democrat.

She is excellent!

A few examples of her posts:

I'm gonna ask my boss to give me less money so I can pay down my debt obligations faster. That should work, right? It's always easier to pay for things with less revenue. #GOPlogic

We added 96,000 new jobs, ugh.. that's terrible, folks. We should totally go back to the policies where we were losing 750,000 jobs per month.

~~~~~~~~~

"The wealthiest 10% pay more than half the amount of the nations taxes"... I say this...No shit... they take in more income than the bottom half of the nation combined. They hold all the wealth, thus they SHOULD be paying the taxes on it. If they want the rest of us to pay more... give us better jobs and pay us better. You are the "job creators" after all. You put that burden on yourself. Stop asking for all the money without the responsibility of paying your fair share of taxes on it.

I'm a Democrat. I don't ask for anything to be free. I work 50 hours/week, run an online publication, play in two bands, and still have time to annoy all of you on Facebook. All I ask is that when I have to pay over 20% of my income in taxes and 100% of my income gets taxed for Social Security, that the richest among us do the same. That's not socialism... that's an ethical obligation, and civic duty.

You know what's unAmerican? Many conservatives hoping for a bad jobs report tomorrow because they'd use it against the president. Me?? I hope it's a good report, not because I just want it for Obama, but because I want it for America.

The national debt just passed $16 Trillion. I've got an idea... let's take in even less money!! Yeah! Oh... and start wars!! They're always pretty reasonable and don't do anything to our gas prices, or cost any lives, or cause other nations to think we're crazy.

While we're at it, let's make sure companies are allowed to create jobs overseas, and the ones back home to pay as little as possible to force people to need assistance and take in little to no tax revenue from it. Or NOT!
