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! Who are these terrible subhuman gremlins sleeping on carpets of welfare rubies in their exurban hovels while dump trucks leave piles of cash by the door? We want their money! Just kidding, we want to hunt them down, where are they?
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.
