Of course they are ignorant of the fact that although the tax rates were cut - revenues INCREASED!

They are fully aware of that little factoid.

The goal is the destruction of our economy and our government.

Thanks.

We should probably be sending ideas like this out to as many people as possible who understand the tax issue.

Another thing is anyone who has any (distant) links to Palin or nominees for the upcoming elections to urge them to make it a big issue in their public speeches.

Know they’re about to get ripped off and demoted big time (tax increases are no different than a demotion) with the added extra bonus of the economy will also be tanked

Preaching to the choir. I think most reasonably minded American's understand these points which is why we're seeing so much upheaval during the primaries and why the Usurper in Chief's and Congress' approval ratings are at all time historic low's.

[Jim W N]

A lot of people don’t know what’s coming. Talk-show hosts need to be telling them and Congressmen are certainly not the choir and historically have yielded with enough voter pressure. (Again, this is what happened with Reagan in the early 80’s.)

[Jim W N]

Of course I know that a lot of people including talk-show hosts prefer whining and complaining. Sometimes I wonder if there’s a conflict of interest with some of these “conservatives” because if these things were fixed, there’d be nothing to complain about and the subject matter for conservative talk shows could dry up.

You’ve discovered the trap!!! ;-)

I meant the sheeple aren’t aware of that little factoid. Most of the democrat congress? I’m not so sure. They are so concerned about getting re-elected, it is hard to know what they truly believe in, other than re-election.

Obama, his cronies, Pelosi, etc. They know. See my tagline.

They are so concerned about getting re-elected, it is hard to know what they truly believe in, other than re-election.

If anyone thinks this only applies to Democrats, they haven't been paying attention.

[21twelve]

Agreed! Although I think there is the possiblity that some of the democrats want the destruction of the U.S. of A. as we know it. I would hope that the others (D&R), while concerned for their own little power-hungry piece of the pie - aren’t KNOWINGLY furthering it’s destruction.
