Did you forget the one about the TAX break that went like this:
On my way to the bank with my paycheck I looked down and noticed NO BREAK
HERE.
Now they are saying that one side wants to increase taxes when all they
want to do is repeal the one that handed money to the ones making a million
dollars a year. Necon LIES.
Neocons want NO social programs and no minimum wage and then everyone
STILL want to ship out jobs to china.
Oh ya. Here is a video that I bet NO ONE can sit though and watch to the
end. Every bit of it true but no one has the balls to watch it.
