Can’t we just buy Dodd a few waitress sandwiches and get him out of there?

“Sen. Dodd fancied himself presidential timber,”
Methinks the heartwood of that timber is rotten.

Is he still vulnerable as was being reported a few weeks ago?

One of the requirements for the redistribution of wealth is wealth.

If the Bush tax cuts expire it will raise everyone’s taxes.
We’ve never been anywhere near anyone’s definition of rich and those tax cuts cut our taxes in half.

Reducing take home pay for those pulling the economic wagon only makes sense to leftwing socialists. Or community organizers.

Without totally socializing America (yet), Obama has already subscribed to the most reprehensible practice of leftist governments; protecting and enriching the inner party at the cost of the standard of living of the proletariat. Under the guise of stimulus legislation, Obama is raiding the public purse to insulate groups and individuals who are faithful to the party and its glorious leader from the deteriorating economy. The rest of us can eat cake.

“Soaking the Rich Has Consequences”
Democrat scu*bag punks don’t care about consequences. They only care about the revolution.
IMHO

Weve never been anywhere near anyones definition of rich and those tax cuts cut our taxes in half. Same situation in my house. I can't say that the cuts halved our taxes but it made a real noticable difference.
To a liberal, a "rich" person is someone who is a net tax payer and they are supposed to support net tax takers.
If I were king, nobody would get to vote if they receive more from government than they pay in, excluding the military. No democrat would ever win public office again.

better idea, can’t we just put Dodd in prison?

"better idea, cant we just put Dodd in prison?"
Why not just keel-haul and then draw and quarter?

I wonder how much hurt this "tax the rich" will affect some of the very rich, like Hollywood liberals, people like Trump, Buffet, Bill Gates? Or do they have so much money socked away that might be untouchable, that this will seem like no more than a mosquito bite.
I ask this because some if not most of those types seem to have been for Obama.
Those closer to that $250,000 "line of demarcation" will undoubtedly feel the pinch. Which will trickle down to the rest of us and we'll feel the pinch even harder.

It’s all about “feelings,” “fairness,” and good intentions with these people.
They don’t care if it makes everyone miserable as long as everyone is miserable equally. Usually, however, they feel the rules they make don’t apply to THEM. They get a pass for imposing the rules on others.
