On anger and deficit

I honestly don't get some people. The Tea Party just cracks me up. Heck, the whole ultra-right does. People who lather on about the Laffer curve and the blind belief that the rich will somehow make more jobs if we promise to not tax them more. It's a load of crap. Had this been the case then we'd be hip deep in jobs after ten years. Somehow that just didn't happen.

Wall Street is pissed off. Heaven forbid someone would tell them they couldn't have uber-sized bonuses every year. No matter that they lost everyone's pension and 401 investments... give us our damn money! I didn't go to an Ivy League school to be told I 'should be lucky to just have a job'. Not like the rest of us, of course.

And of course they're going to hold back. Don't trust these Democrats. They want reform. They want to fix Wall Street so Main Street can have a chance again. No, no. Have you talked to a senior citizen? Hell, someone in their 50s. They are scared to death. My mother-in-law is just scraping by so she can get to her social security because she's got one foot in unemployment. Her work is something they can outsource in a heartbeat. She works from home. I pray that she can make it.

So let's keep the fires burning! Let's tear down everything Obama has done for the people. It's not what you wanted! You wanted lower taxes, revenues and smaller deficit. You didn't think you wanted that a decade ago. You wanted to pay less and care less about where the money came from. Tear down that health care bill... who needs guarantees of coverage anyway? The GOP will provide! Maybe a health savings account?? I'm sure you have money left someplace you haven't used to pay off your credit card with.

Yeah, they don't know. They've got nothing. Gay bashing and immigration isn't winning votes. Let's fuel more anger about over spending. Blame the new landlord for paying for the upgrades that the last guy pocketed. Do you blame your spouse for charging more on the credit cards so she can keep you fed? Of course not. We gotta build first.

If none of this makes sense, then pour on more gasoline on that fire, baby. I'm sure the next guy will helping the middle class. Yup.
