		<description><![CDATA[in the eyes, and not only in the eyes, but also hearts-minds of supremacists, america and its people belong to supremacists.
thus, whatever a lower class person has, belongs to americans who own america.
and what a houseperson gets, according the unspoken dogma, is given himher by those who own and run america.

however, pie in u.s is still large enough-- maybe too large, judging by the amount americans waste-- for most people to complain.
at this time, 99% like it this way! txn]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Continuing the tax cuts will be continuing the class warfare that will end in dire poverty and pain for the targeted underclass, including the elderly whose Social Security and Medicare will eventually be slashed. What most people don&#039;t realize is that retirees already contribute about a third to the cost of medical insurance in the form of Parts B and D and the supplemental policies that cover what Medicare does not. These costs can equal half of their Social Security income. How much more difficult could they make it for say a 70 or 80-yr.-old who is netting $5,000 a yr. and who definitely is not going to be picking up part-time work anytime soon.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Don Hawkins writes ...

&lt;i&gt;Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and Sen. Jon Kyl (Ariz.), the Republican whip, told different interviewers that they expect Congress to vote for the tax cuts, &lt;b&gt;which have been in effect for almost a decade,&lt;/b&gt; to continue unaltered for at least several years in exchange for an agreement to extend an emergency unemployment program that expired last week for millions of people. Washington post&lt;/i&gt;

The most devastating tax cuts of the 1980&#039;s are pretty much still in effect.  The Kemp-Roth tax cuts and the 1986 tax &quot;deform&quot; acts lowered the top rate from 70% to 28% and reduced the tax brackets down from 14 to 3.  Both of these acts needs to be repealed but the Liberal/Left is not calling for a restoration of the pre-1981 Kemp/Roth tax rates.  I wonder why?  Maybe because some members of the &#039;Left&quot; like Amy Goodman now rakes in $1,000,000.00/year.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I see that Julian Assange and wikileaks is now a high tech terrorist. Well here&#039;s a leak hiding in plain site.  

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and Sen. Jon Kyl (Ariz.), the Republican whip, told different interviewers that they expect Congress to vote for the tax cuts, which have been in effect for almost a decade, to continue unaltered for at least several years in exchange for an agreement to extend an emergency unemployment program that expired last week for millions of people.  Washington post

   
Unaltered for at least several years and do the math. These tax cut&#039;s for the wealthy how are they paid for is it from the kindness of strangers sort of more on the lines of from thin air that if the truth be known not so thin. The Senate voted on 1 million then after a million a bit higher tax. Sorry no cigar and why you ask? Is it the money or to keep America strong the right thing to do? No it set&#039;s a very bad example for the little people I mean what else will they ask for got to nip this in the bud and fast. Then the Senator from the great State of Kentucky one of the greatest minds in human history say&#039;s, “I think it’s time for the games to stop”. Now color me nut&#039;s but I don&#039;t think they stopped. In 2012 will the game stop probably not just play it faster and in two more years will the little fact that climate change and or disruption will it become more clear yes it sure will then will the games stop, no change it a little and much more illusion as we all go down the drain in plain site sort of. If they can&#039;t change the tax&#039;s on the top 3% what chance is there of taxing carbon and the big one return that tax back to the little people it&#039;s just to much to ask. I&#039;ll bet we hear all of the above that means oil, gas, coal and we will need to do this at least fifty years to keep going and going and the big leak is the little fact to do this will destroy most life on a planet called Earth.  “I think it’s time for the games to stop”, thank you Senator some interesting words indeed. And so it goes and what did Sheila write at the end of her post?  

 If only the poor and about-to-be-poor could be guaranteed merely that. Is that asking so much?

   Well here&#039;s another leak the about-to-be-poor is going to be a very big number and the people we now see who appear not to be poor just might need to start practicing less of a shock. Here&#039;s one way to start dress down and go sit in a coffee shop heck bring a good book like how to win friends and influence people and be just one of the little people that they just might find are not so little.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sheila I know how you feel and Is that asking so much?  The wife an I make it month to month but it&#039;s fun we just don&#039;t give a damn well being poor is sort of an art. Now my kids still haven&#039;t learned the art and we help them when we can. Now tomorrow it&#039;s only a day away let&#039;s see we will hear a compromise is being worked out as they have Obama between a rock an a hard place so extend the tax cut&#039;s for the wealthy so they can have a good Christmas and maybe workman&#039;s comp heck we will all have a good Christmas. I have decided not to send any cards this year but write a few comment&#039;s. The sun streaming through the stained glass, but standing in the glow of its beauty made me long for something far in my past I understand and me sometimes when watching the scfi channel maybe a disaster movie and at the end when we all made it and everyone yell&#039;s at the end I yell with them.]]></description>
