This is like PROOF that the Republican Party has been taken over by oligarchs who think the American public has no memory, no self-interest, and too much money and time. We hear the SAME lame claims today that the Old Party was making back then. And we witnessed the consequences of their program in the decade of 2000.

Amazing that this originally aired May 12, 1992... and how sad that the pundits are still making the exact same errors.

If only MORE liberal constituents and commentators had the balls to hold GOPers accountable like this.

She totally pwned that Republican.

Well, he's not a very good politician. A real congresscritter would've never said "you will" in response to who's going to pay taxes. He's real crappy at spinning. It's funny and all, but I'd like to see her take on a real politician in a real situation where there's no script. Most pols don't give up that easy or else they don't get elected.

@keylawk

I just want to point out that the democrats controlled congress back then, much as they have for the past 4 years.

@moorese07 Try 20 years ago... :)

[moorese07]

Crazy that this aired almost 10 years ago. Sigh.

the last accurate portrayal of working class life on TV.

BREAK IT DOWN Rosanne!

It's Sad that the SAME Republicant talking points and Corporate Ass Kissing techniques are STILL being used today...

LOL @ "Oh Great, I'll go with you!"

Sounds like a politician...Republican or Democrat...and companies pay nowhere NEAR enough in taxes. They have incentives and loopholes they exploit and if they are threatened with having taxes raised they either threaten to jump ship and move operations or they just hike up their prices to offset the decrease in their profits. We, the working man, take up their slack...insanity...tax the poor, preserve the rich.
