The wealthy aren't creating jobs. So what's your solution? Let everyone starve, freeze to death, die in agony, for what purpose? So that a small handful of super-wealthy individuals can continue to enjoy the practice of manufacturing money? Why is it that the free-market types only think in binary, that it's either/or, with no compromise, no innovation, and no way to consider the general welfare? Oh, right. I forgot. You're all social darwinists.

Taking care of the less fortunate, elderly ,disabled, children and the downright poor is not forced income redistribution, but a mandatory part of being a human being. Which, of course, excludes repukeliklans.

Just to balance the budget. You selfish fucks. You fucking Christians who take Jesus as your moral guide, you are fucking hypocrites. I wish I had ONE WEEK of Stalinist power...I'd clean house in no fuckin time.

The ultra rich are sitting on $36 trillion...THIRTY-SIX TRILLION. They are NOT JOB CREATORS they havent created a goddamn job for anyone. They take their money and invest it in assets.

I fucking HATE the rich. They have convinced the rest of us that they deserve to keep everything, but when they get too greedy its our responsibility to bail their fat asses out. FUCK THE RICH. I'm usually more intricate with my comments but I am sick and tired of Libertarians who would let poor people die...

Conservatives despise socialism but embrace it when it takes from the POOR and gives to the RICH

Capitalism is not evil, nor is socialism, they can in fact work together, the rich just need to practice "Ethical Capitalism"!

I might add that these types of savage austerity measures don't work. They make things worse. They have their priorities in reverse. Crackdown on Wall Street who caused this not the working people. Free market types like Ron Paul always blame the government but they won't acknowledge is we are talking about a govrnment dominated by Wall Street.

So glad I finally got to hear this! Every time I heard budget plans, I'd get the old Monty Python "Dennis Moore" song in my head. "He steal from the poor, gives to the rich. Stupid bitch!"
