Now I've literally seen everything.

Sit back folks, get a cup of coffee, this is going sting. I've been storing up my anger for the better part of a week, just waiting for the republicans to piss me off. They came close several times, but never quite enough to get me to pull the trigger on an entry. Then Bush opened his stupid hole, and...

"No question, we're in a slowdown," the president told reporters in a White House news conference.
"That's why we acted strongly with over $150 billion worth of pro-growth economic incentives," he added, referring to the $170 billion economic stimulus bill he signed into law more than two weeks ago.
"And now it's time to determine whether or not this pro-growth package will actually work."-CNN-From Bush's press conference


Ok, just so I'm straight, we are now in a "slowdown". Is it now customary for the republicans to give the middle class a pitance during every "slowdown"? This is the second time Mr. Brain has done it, and then become the champion of middle class republicans (how the hell is this even possible?) everywhere. Just so everyone understands, the top 5% of earners in america make and hold most of the money. They are very small part of the population, but they are very important and dear to the conservatives, mainly because all of the conservative politicians happen to make this kind of scratch, and subsequently belong to this group of earners.

Now, if you are in control of the government (like they have been the last 6 years or so), and you happen to be in this top 5% demographic what do you do? That's right, you give yourself tax cuts, but you call it tax "relief". Now, by doing this, when the democrats question you about your motives, you can make them sound like bastards that are taxing the poor to inflict punishment. The republicans, in this tale are simply "relieving" poor americans from the oppression of runaway democrat taxation!! You tell the middle class that you love them so much, that they are going to get 3% less taxation every year forever, and ever, amen. You tell them that one day, when they are rich, like you, they will be in that upper 5% level, and that they will get the tax cut you are giving yourself.....4.6%, hallelujah, praise Jesus! Oh, yes, that's right, because they have ALL the money, they need an additional 1.6% more tax "relief" than any other tax paying demographic in america. You see they are burdened with wealth, and it's such a burden that they should get a larger share of the tax "relief". As you might imagine, lopping 1.6% of the tax revenue from the richest 5% of americans, keeping in mind they make more than half the money, might lead to some problems with balancing the budget, and could lead to record deficits (oops). You know what else, get rid of the dividend tax on our investments, and get rid of the estate tax! Yes, bitch, I can see now that you're terribly concerned about us Po'Folk.

Now, add up the money these bastard in the top 5% have been stealing from the middle class the last six years because of the tax "relief" he gave to the rich so they could feed the trust funds of their lazy children, in order to perpetuate the existence of more pathetic George W. Bush, Paris Hilton types. I would say the least this jagoff could do is give us 170 billion back. If the dumb prick hadn't been giving the richest fuckheads in the nation and extra 1.6% of their fucking money back the last 6 years, above what the rest of got, we probably wouldn't need the help.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news folks, most economists are now saying, we are not in a "slowdown", or heading towards a recession, but are actually in the fucking recession right now! Bush's answer, more help for big business. Are you fucking serious? Somebody stop this asshole, it's like watching a train barrel down the tracks, with a retarded child controlling the engine. Of course, we shouldn't expect the leader of our nation to be able to listen to opinions about the economy that disagree with the parallel universe (in which, btw, he can speak directly to Jesus, for policy decisions) he demands is reality. It's is way past time to admit that we all made a mistake. Let me rephrase that, it's time that people who voted for this baffoon admit they made a goddamn mistake. He has the mental flexibility of a terd, and that is being far to generous.

The really sad thing about america is that this nimrod, were he able to run again, would probably win the white house, again! But who cares right, I mean he is giving me 1800 bucks back in May. Yeah, I might retire early!
