Taking my country back from :

-

A. the family and corporate elitists [Koch, Schaife, Forbes, Walton, Olin, DeVos, Kirby, Richardson, Gilder, Lambe, Bradley ..] Wall St., military contractors and corporate lobbyists [and the Repub. whores - they buy] !

-

B. And nut-job wrong-wingers :

1. who misquote the constitution … question separation of church and state … civil rights act … trial by jury … powers of the federal government … corporate personhood … ??

When Fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the American flag and carrying a cross.... EXACTLY like the Tea Party.

[mustupac]

This has nothing to do with TYT its just a cut of MSNBC propaganda

[TMBrd89]

@Rightleftparidigm Wow okay, apparently you don't know your history. The Boston tea party was done in response to a tax cut on tea leaves for the East India Company. Pick up a history book, every once and a while. <_<

@TMBrd89

I am referring to state taxes hence two states mentioned above they have raised there STATE taxes and collected less. Our founding fathers started the revolution over tea taxes I guess they where all teenagers too.

[TMBrd89]

@Rightleftparidigm lol wow how old are you? Seriously, I want to know, I feel like I am talking to a teenager. Look taxes are at an all time low, like 17% for middle class, and thanks to the bush tax cuts 15% for the upper class. They haven't been raising taxes they have been lowering them. The fact that you can say that they are collecting less by raising taxes is just moronic. Not trying to insult you, but it just is....

[Rightleftparidigm]

So you want to increase tax on the rich then like California and New York?

You now they collected less tax every time the raise it right?

[Rightleftparidigm]

What did our Country do before the IRS? How naive of me 

[Rightleftparidigm]

@TMBrd89 Oh you like to pay taxes. so they take 25 % your pay, pay there IRS agents give you 5% back

send some over seas give some out for food stamps Spend more on military than all other countries combined pat them selves on the back give themselves a raise hand out billions for bailouts. Your right great system Oh yea the senior gets medicare that already got taken out of there check only it was worth more when taken out

[TMBrd89]

@Rightleftparidigm You want to abolish the IRS? How old are you? You are naive and foolish. Take sometime to grow up.
