Pelosi Says Bush’s Failed Economic Policies Are Pillaging Government Coffers
House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released a statement denouncing President Bush’s economic policies. “While President Bush continues to trumpet his so-called ‘economic achievements,’ the fact is his wanton tax cuts are pillaging the public treasury,” Pelosi said. “Funds that should rightfully be in the hands of the government have been turned back to private interests under the elitist notion that money belongs to those who’ve earned it.”
“A nation is a social enterprise,” Pelosi continued. “The outputs are the collective property of all. It is the job of congress to use these outputs for the benefit of the nation.”
Pelosi ridiculed what she called “Bush’s naïve theory that profits encourage investment. Profits expropriate the bread created by the working classes. So-called entrepreneurs and investors are just fancy terms for people who are really looters.”
“Democrats will bring a more humane economic policy to the country,” Pelosi promised. “Under our plan, each person will be asked to contribute to the full extent of his or her ability. In return, the government will take care to ensure that each person receives what he or she needs.”
Pelosi characterized the separation between so-called private and public property “an artificial distinction without moral value. Ultimately, all property and income are public. It is shameful that some are permitted to have more than they need while others suffer from want. Given sufficient support by voters this November, we intend to fix that.”
“Democrats propose a New Direction to provide real tax help to hard-pressed families, which will inject demand into our economy, spur economic growth that will produce jobs, and reduce the deficit, and we will do it in a fiscally responsible way.”

Very funny. The real hilarious thing is I'd bet most libs who might read that faux statement of Comrade Pelosi would probably find little fault in it. They probably do believe that all the money is the gov's to redistribute.
