Here's a weird, confusing little shovel's worth of right-wing hater dirt from some oppressed American Spectator columnist tired of the scavenging poor eating up all his garden tomatoes or whatever: "Registering [the poor] to vote is like handing out burglary tools to criminals. It is profoundly antisocial and un-American to empower the nonproductive segments of the population to destroy the country." Woah!
You know who he looks like? A charming fellow by the name of <a href="http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/File:Gerh_Rose.jpg" target="_blank">Gerhard Rose</a>
Those are a bit more evenly distributed --- which is why the zillionaires are always bitching about &#039;em. They take some of the fun out of owning a <a href="http:\/\/ehttp:\/\/rismedia.com\/2006-01-30\/125-million-trump-estate-tops-list-of-countrys-most-expensive-homes-for-sale\/" target="_blank">$125,000,000 home</a>.
&quot;many, many&quot; indeed. The higest AGI was about 4,000 million.
Funny how the half of the population paying &quot;0%&quot; are lazy socialist moochers, while the half of businesses paying 0% are the job-creating elite. I guess the&#039;re not &quot;people too&quot; in ALL respects.
The defendants will cover their asses by inpleading the ratings agencies -- and then the rats will start squealing on one another in earnest. I just hope the DOJ doesn&#039;t cut more deals with these pricks than the absolute minimum necessary.
Toss in sales/gas taxes, and the tax rate for poor people spikes up another 5-10%. (You could factor in cigarette/liquor taxes for another 3% or so, but the wingnutz will jump all over that and ignore your actual point.)
Well-played! The dog whistle sub-text, of course, is that those who file to collect the Earned Income Tax Credit are ripping off the hard-working citizens.
There&#039;s a similar lie about food stamps - the high number of people &quot;on&quot; food stamps. Of course, dependent children are counted in that number - but the right wing nutz never get around to mentioning that!

A more direct approach than Perry&#039;s, which takes the education away.
I this roach Vadumb crawls into my sight, I have a can of Black Flag waiting.

I think <i>Clampett&#039;s Old Tyme Texas Tea</i> will do just fine.
B&Ouml;C doesn&#039;t quite cut it. Something more like, I dunno, Iron Maiden?

No longer available in London.
A pack of Newports? I think <i>a place in Newport</i> is where they&#039;re headed with this.
Now that&#039;s what I call taking America <u>back</u>!
I bet half of &#039;em are fakes.
Uh-oh. Now they know you&#039;ve broken the code.
In those days, Job didn&#039;t have a vote that I could take away. I may ask for a do-over.
