Just to highlight your hypocrisy:

“I’d like to think the Republics really mean what they say, but this is, after all, the party that has made special interests politics their bread and butter. Drug Companies, Oil Companies, Weapons manufacturers and Arms dealers, spoiled rich children, liars, thieves and criminals…you name the subgroup, and I’ll show you 25,000 Republics rushing to pander.”

The Republic Party has committed treason – not only betraying American ideals but also destroying America’s God-Given Constitution – for personal profit.

Now, just sit back and chew on your fat little pork sandwiches (with extra earmarks) and watch which the people of this Great Republic affirm their devotion and commitment to the Constitution.

As for Carl’s post…come on, someone who is able to use a computer is not going to be that bad…why would anyone take ‘him’ seriously? As for comparing ‘his’ writing to that of the comments at DailyKos, obviously you have never visited. As for taking Scrapiron seriously, if one wishes to do so, that is either satire or a frightening display of ignorance.

Tax ‘em ’til they bleed, pay off the miserable failure of W’s presidency, pay off our profligacy in government from before that, eliminate corporate personhood, then tax ‘em at the top one more time just to be sure, and then we can talk about permanent tax reforms. It wasn’t tax cuts at the top that pulled us out of the Depressions or letting the rich off that created the middle class that gave us the most powerful economy, it was progressive/liberal policies aimed at ensuring the benefits of America were shared by a broader mass of its people.

Capitalism is the best economic system available but only if aimed at the entrepreneur. Corporations are nothing more than money vacuums for the rich and they have allowed us to dissolve our capitalism into a crony-style, command economy. Yes, command, just like the bad old Soviets. How? Too much concentration of wealth into too few hands that allows for fewer choices, more propaganda from a select few to ensure their own hold on power and wealth, and fewer means for the little guy to use the system to protect him/herself against the behemoths.

End corporate personhood while paying off our kids’ national debt and then shrink government down to the point where it serves the national defense, ensures quality education for all, serves its part in securing a level playing field for all, and dumps piles into science, R&D, and public transportation. Then, we can talk tax breaks for the rich.
