    Sorry man - this shit about give the wealthy and corporations money - screwing up the debt - just sucks. You choose. Give the rich money and they will take it and magnanimously create jobs - not fatten up there bank accounts -- OR - Give breaks to the poor and middle class so they will have more money. What are they going to do with the cash - tuck it away in a savings account - or spend it for things they need. This in-turn creates demand, which creates opportunity, which creates jobs.
    Conservatives make me want to vomit.

    It really is getting sick. Now they're talking about how the poor don't do their part and should be taxed more.

    Hey, but Mit Romney's new 12 million dollar house employed a lot of people.

    You got to love how funny they all think the whole thing is. And it's still players from the same team calling the shots. I imagine they'd all be laughing over the Gulf spill, and financial collapse the same way.

    Add in Katrina and the Haiti diaster and they are probably all hysterical.

    Maybe when they run out of middle and lower classes to screw with massive lay-offs and jobs going out of the country--they'll realize just who bought all their crap to begin with and why it's not being bought now.

    Is there any believable up side to the trickle down theory? I know if someone gave me a bunch of money I would buy a lambo and even if I did buy American lets get realistic that doesn't create jobs at most it creates a product made by people that already have jobs. not only that the product would exist without the purchase.

    Money is an addiction and they're junkies. Ultimately they deserve only pity.
