The GOP's Tax Holiday Hoax

The federal government seems to believe that, even though they haven't been paying taxes, we should use tax dollars to bail out America's failing financial institutions. Mike Papantonio of Air America's Ring of Fire talks about how corporations (like AIG) managed to avoid the IRS for years by hiding their money in offshore accounts. These are the same companies who are being rescued by the $700 billion bailout.

I've never been so gaddamn pissed in my life! I knew it was bad, but Crap!!

WE've gotta tax those muthers heavily.

And the recession means we're gonna have to wait for our pound of flesh.

Taxing too heavily in a depression means too many businesses firing employees.

I usually only swear for comic effect, but those mangey, lice-ridden, Supturating donkey penises need to rot in Hell!

Blackwaters got nothing on these sonofabitches-they only cover up the murders of civilians, pffhf!
