2. Rush lied over and over

Tue Feb 14, 2012, 11:52 PM

Feb 2012

Rush said scarebaby was a fraud because self employed people don't pay SS taxes. But they do. Rush said the self employed wouldn't get a tax cut, but they do. Rush said the SS tax cut would deplete the SS trust fund, but its reimbursed by the general fund.

Rush is lying to his gullible followers because he wants every cent of any tax cut to go to the super wealthy.
