Blaming others is a sign of weakness, start taking some fucking responsibility for what happens to your country, or shut the fuck up.
Great post. Do you blame the porn industry for what happened to it?

As for the subject about cutting taxes so it trickles down. Why take the risk of it trickling down when you can cut it where you want it to end up? Because you want the rich to decide where it trickles down to.

So give a guy earning $10,000 a month and up a tax cut and he's likely to buy a foreign car, overseas holiday or home overseas. Give a guy under $10,000 a month a tax cut and he spends it in the local shops. Yes I understand a poor man can buy a shirt made in China. Not every time just often enough to see money flow out of the US.

However when the electoral system is based on who can get the most money donated to spend on campaigning, what do you expect?
