I am a fully accredited member of Big Oil. Come on in, the water is fine. Besides, you get to rape, pillage, and plunder Mother Earth for her resources, along with making some Democrats really mad. Of course, next year I will get laid off as oil will drop to $25 a barrel and I will have to join the Jerk Messiah's Green Corps.

But what will we do with all of those IRS agents that will be out of a job for a year? Pick up aluminum cans on the side of the highway?

Love this idea. Love it on all levels. Wish I could vote for Gohmert from MA.

I just called my state Rep’s office encouraging him to support it. Of course, he’s a ‘rat so I’m not terribly optimistic, but I have to imagine this idea will have broad non-partisan support amongst the citizenry.

Let Obama put his money where his mouth is. He’s always saying how concerned he is about forclosures and people being able to pay their mortgages. So, how about just letting us keep our own income so we can pay our bills, hmm? Bailing out the banks does not help people pay their mortgages.

Mr. President-Elect: put up or shut up.
