House D Jim Moran: “This simplistic notion that people who have wealth are entitled to keep it”
Virginia Virtucon/YouTube ^ | 11/4/2008 | Virginia Virtucon

“Now in the last seven years we have had the highest corporate profit ever in American history. Highest corporate profit! We’ve had the highest productivity!

The American worker has produced more per person at any time, but it hasn’t been shared, and that’s the problem because we have been guided by a republican administration who believes in this simplistic notion that people who have wealth are entitled to keep it and they have an antipathy towards the means of redistributing wealth.”

Well I’ve got a comment. Thieves, Looters and Moochers’ time will come one of these days, and when justice comes it won’t be interested in such simplistic concepts of ‘giving quarter’.

I dare anyone to go into Murphys or Pat Troy’s in Alexandria VA when Moron is in there getting sauced up (just building intestinal fortitude so that he can go beat up his ex-wife or put an elementary school kid into a headlock) and attempt to apply that same logic to Moron by scarfing his Harp (Congressman Lightweight can’t handle Guiness) out from under him ...

This is sickening. The socialists are no longer afraid to show their true colors. I’m sure a lot of Obama voters are oblivious to what could happen in the next few years. They are in for a rude awakening.

Moran is a Moron

The Virginia elitists in his Old Town Alexandria district must get too much lead in their drinking water

Moran is one of the most moronic elected officials in our nation, edging out some pretty stiff competition. This is the guy that compared Bush to Hitler, accused our troops of practicing ethnic cleansing in Iraq, claimed it was the Jews that pushed us into the Iraq War, and advocated closing down Guantanamo and moving the prisoners therein to military brigs scattered throughout the country.

You know, if there is a bigger meathead in the US House, I really don’t know who it would be.

Jim Moran is the most splendid example of aggressive stupidity I have ever witnessed.

He had a rally in Market Square last night in Old Town, Alexandria; and why anyone would bother to show up for such an event is simply mystifying.

My favorite Jim Moran story: His maiden speech in the House was made the night the House was debating the First Gulf War resolution. He voted for it! Then came home and was beaten on and about the head by liberal supporters; returned to the Hill the next day and changed his vote. A tower of Jello.

All of this might have something to do with his being a boxer once upon a time.

Ugh.

Huge corporate profits have reaped huge tax collections by the government, but they are not happy.

Exxon profited 15 Billion. Nobody in the media reported that with the record profits, they paid record taxes of $24 Billion.

We are not talking about corporate greed here. We are talking about government greed. And it is almost out of hand.

the solution? A national stay home from work day. One day off from taxation would hurt the government bean counters by hundreds of millions of dollars. We the people can say, “don’t bite the hand that feeds you. We can bite back”.

It’s good to know I’m a simple person. I’ve always been told that I had a complicated personality. But now I know I’m simple.

They’re dropping the veil.

I’m not sure if this is a scary thing that they’re confident enough now to come out,

or if it is simply an answer to the prayers that these guys finally tell the truth so that people can make an informed decision.

Here’s a proposal for a study that would end these arguements.
The results of the study would be published nationwide for all to evaluate.
The study would show what each senator, congressman, judge, governor and the president earns on a yearly basis, the taxes they each pay and the charitable contributions they each make and to what organization the contributions go.
After demonstrating how they handle their finances, I may consider hearing what they have to say in regards to my money.

Pull a gun on him, demand his money and credit cards. Take him to an ATM and withdraw all his cash. When he asks why you are doing this, tell him its the same method of redistributing the wealth the govt uses. Then pistol whip him on general principles.
