But-- but the "poor" don't hardly pay any income tax at all, because the lucky duckies have no income! And lots of 'em have refrigerators and tvs and even cell phones!

No shit, this was an actual letter-to-the-editor presented in my dead tree news this morning. By Gawd, if it wasn't for the comics page. . . .

People who point to the precedent that Hoover didn't get re-elected despite economic troubles' had their origin in policies from before he took office as president seem to forget he was Sec. of Commerce for 8 years prior to becoming president. And the number one priority of the Commerce Dept. under Hoover was to total do whatever helped big business. Obama wasn't a member of an prior administration, so he gets a pass.

Half of everything the poor own, versus 2% of what the rich plan to add to their wealth in a single year (over and above a quarter million bucks.)

That's a tough call, if you're a Republican. ( Just joking -- it's an easy call on a no-compromise issue.)

So Obama is in a dead heat with "generic Republican candidate". I think he'll do well against "actual teabagger-ass-licking Republican candidate."
