All Bush's Fault Alert?
First time I am doing a live thread to be kind.
I appreciate your kindness.
You are most kind :)
GRRRREAT idea!
Oppps, so be kind.
Hmmm, reminds me of a Python skit.
FReepers are merciless over typos, aren’t we? ;-)
Let the Democrats push their tax increases,especially the carbon taxes, and watch the Dow plummet.
Whew, thanks, I hate those dead threads.
Zombie threads are the worst. You know, the ones that don't know they are dead, and only the creator of them keeps them moving?
Higher than the clinton fantasia economy?? I imagine the Old York Times will giving GW all the credit.
Pray for W and Our Troops
Looks like volume has just leveled.

Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi on the US economy and taxes:
Nancy Pelosi condemned the new record highs of the stock market as "just another example of Bush policies helping the rich get richer". "First Bush cut taxes for the rich and the economy has rebounded with new record low unemployment rates, which only means wealthy employers are getting even wealthier at the expense of the underpaid working class".
She went on to say, "Despite the billions of dollars being spent in Iraq our economy is still strong and government tax revenues are at all time highs. What this really means is that business is exploiting the war effort and working Americans just to put money in their own pockets".
When questioned about recent stock market highs she responded, "Only the rich benefit from these record highs. Working Americans, welfare recipients, the unemployed and minorities are not sharing in these obscene record highs". "There is no question these windfall profits and income created by the Bush administration need to be taxed at 100% rate and those dollars redistributed to the poor and working class". "Profits from the stock market do not reward the hard work of our working class who, by their hard work, are responsible for generating these corporate profits that creates stock market profits for the rich. We in congress will need to address this issue to either tax these profits or to control the stock market to prevent this unearned income to flow to the rich."
When asked about the fact that over 80% of all Americans have investments in mutual funds, retirement funds, 401K's and the stock market she replied, "That may be true, but probably only 5% account for 90% of all these investment dollars. That's just more "trickle down" economics claiming that if a corporation is successful that everyone from the CEO to the floor sweeper benefit from higher wages and job security which is ridiculous". "How much of this 'trickle down' ever gets to the unemployed (Nancy, if a person is unemployed, how could they expect to benefit from “trickle down economics?) and minorities in our country? None, and that's the tragedy of these stock market highs."
"We democrats are going to address this issue after the election when we take control of the congress. We will return to the 60% to 80% tax rates on the rich and we will be able to take at least 30% of all current, lower Federal Income Tax taxpayers off the roles and increase government income substantially. We need to work toward the goal of equalizing income in our country and at the same time limiting the amount the rich can invest."
When asked how these new tax dollars would be spent, she replied, "We need to raise the standard of living of our poor, unemployed and minorities. For example, we have an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants in our country who need our help along with millions of unemployed minorities. Stock market windfall profits taxes could go a long ways to guarantee these people the standard of living they would like to have as "Americans"."
Well, of course, this has been constantly in our news updates............NOT!
Thanks for the thread!
Odds are 55-45 that what you posted is satire.
Now there is a socialist for you.
Oppps ?
Oops.
;->
This is clear example of MSM effort to silence Bush’s successes.
That was my first thought, too.
