Danimal, seriously? For being an inclusive member of the Democratic party, you sure are narrow minded in your beliefs. May I then play your game and ask Kloppenberg to call it quits because all Democrats stand for are lazy, public union, tax sucking, non tax paying baby mamma, shaking down business, “I know whats better for you, than you do” crowd? They stand up for the moochers of society to legally take from the producers! You do realize that the current Dem in the WH has signed the credits that GE is able to use, right? And that corporations do not pay taxes, consumers of there products are the ones who pay for those taxes. Tax corporations all you want, it will only make your birkenstocks more expensive. If Senator Franken would have listened to your advice, he would not have beat Norm Coleman in MN, don’t you wish Stuart Smalley would have bowed out as well, you know, to save tax payer money?

First, what is an “inclusive member of the Democrat party?” Funny, I’m an independent that really doesn’t care for how Walker (aka Harsdorf) is going about governing. Teapartiers have been blinded boy Koch, huh JL? Second, those companies have a lot of CEO’s, executives, top-level managers, and stockholders making a tonf of money while continuing to give less and less to the producers of their wealth-the workers. We are going to raise their taxes, JL. We are finally going to get the middle-class happy. ‘Cause when the middle-class is paid more and has better retirement and benefit plans, they spend more, thus create more jobs and fixes the economy. The rich haven’t paid his low of taxes since 1928. Fair JL? (yes, I know your teaparty canned, parroted response: “it’s there money.”)
Funny thing is, big corporations actually were decent stewards and paid 30% of all the nations tax load…now they pay 6%. It’s time we let the Bush tax cuts expire, which will wipe out 1/2 our deficit, and raise taxes up more on the top 1 percent, and close loopholes and tax businesses. And lastly, we workers need to stand up to the executives stealing all the profit and UNIONIZE. Workers have stood up to money-grabbing wealth and big-business before, and we are doing it again right now.

If soemone in my company asked me to unionize, I would run away screaming. Unions retard the gifted and hold up the deadbeats. They only care about dues. Plus, name one successfull Private sector union.

Uh, yeh there will be a recount. A difference of 204 votes out of 1,500,000 cast or 1.6 votes/100,000 cast warrants a recall!!! The last statewide recount in 1989 yielded a vote change of 450 votes! I can guarantee you there were more illegally cast votes Tuesday than the margin of victory. Time for voter ID—
You are a broken record danimal. You need to hit ‘refresh’ on your talking points. Blah,blah blah’ evil corporations’ blah blah blah ‘tax the rich’, blah, blah, blah. Hate to tell you but rich people and big coporations employ a lot of people. If they didn’t, we couldn’t afford to prop up our out of control spending government.

So what we have is big-corporation used to help carry 30 percent of taxes, now they are down to 5. If Paul Ryan gets his way, they’ll be down to ZERO. The cost of food, products is estimated to go up 4% this year. If we let the Bush tax cuts expire, closed loopholes and actually taxed big-business, we would eliminate our deficit. Some corps may try to pass their taxes onto consumers, but they already to, so that’s six in one and half dozen in the other. The big-wigs of each company would be under extreme pressure, if we finally made them pay some reasonable taxes AGAIN, to not raise prices for fear they would be outpricing what regular folks from buying their product. The bottom line is, the CEOs, executives, stock holders would actually take a little bit less than the wide-grab they are making now. Also, Birkenstocks-that puts you at about 80. Also, Al Franken-is he from Wisconsin? Does that mean you’re from out-of-state JL? Here’s the resolution: Let the Bush tax cuts expire-tax big-corporations, give tax cuts to small business, regulate wall street and banks, tighten up our whacky-big-business benefitting trade agreements, and get corporation and union money out of politics, and please, please, regulate lobbyists and end their influence on politicians. If we do those things, no more deficit, pluse the middle class and working poor will have jobs and actually be able to buy more homes, products, and food. How ’bout Paul Ryan-republican (aka Walker, aka Harsdorf) chopping medicare and medicaid to death. Vote for change-and that certainly isn’t a republican—ask your grandparents and great grandparents what it was like under corporate rule… (7 million to clean up the capital-and some of you on the fringe actually believed that number without doing due-diligence to make sure what you were parroting was actually true…they have you hook-line-sinker…funny but sad at the same time). The teaparty deserves their falling popularity by followig shock radio and tv without verifying what they are saying is true…now they have you working for the rich, even though doing so actually hurts yourself.

Did you read Paul Ryan’s proposal? Or did you just listen to what Maddow told you she thinks is in it? It is a very good piece of legislation, with the exception of that I wish more was taken out of defense. He is not chopping Medicare, Medicaid or SS. He is being financially prudent with our money as to get the greatest return. Medicare is a joke, they deny more than all the private health insurers combined, they make more mistakes and pay the least amount. I really wish you would stop parroting whatever your woman’s studies college professor tells you about the economics of the US. I once was liberal, but then I had a family, responsibilities and realized that no one was going to take care of me, but me. It is fun spending other peoples money, but you eventually run out of it. I would like to say that this has been fun, but you are such a mental midget, it really was not that difficult.

All of you just give negative scores, but none of you can rebut the righ getting richer facts. We need to addresse the deficit in two ways: 1) ensure spending is appropriate (gov. needs to evaluate what it’s involved in and do its work effectively and efficiently; and 2) raise revenue (you do this by asking the rich to pay their share again and asking big-business to pitch in instead of taking IRS refunds, subsidies, and bailouts). All some of you do is click a negative rating, yet you have nothing of substance to rebut the facts I’ve laid out. Are you so willing to hammer government, unions, senior citizens, and the poor that you’ll go along with a party the is ethically challenged and keeps giving more and more money to the elite rich? Do any of you research history when the rich had the power to manipulate government in the US?

Danimal, you are the farthest thing form an independent. You want the government to determine what level of spending is appropriate? They have, and over the last 4 years the Democrats at the capitol has given us $1 trillion + defecits. How to raise revenues for the government? Increase private sector GDP. You claim the rich have the lowest tax percentage since 1928, but fail to mention that they pay more of the overall federal income tax burden than at any other time. As tax rates go up, income taxes on the middle class and poor go up. In 1978, the bottom 50% of wage earners had a 0% federal income tax, as tax rates have dropped, they currently have a -4.5% federal income tax rate. I say, raise the taxes on the evil rich, maybe the poor and the middle class will actually have to contribute something to society then, you know, everyone having some “skin in the game.” “It’s time we let the Bush tax cuts expire, which will wipe out 1/2 our deficit” You are an absolute piece of work, every state that has implimented “millionaire” taxes, have received less revenue than they did before. All we have to do is pay people more and they will spend more, right? But when you pay people more, your cost of doing business increases, thus causing your goods to cost more, thus meaning it is costing people more to buy your goods. For the record, I am a successful 32 year old resident of River Falls that probably pays more in income and property taxes than you make in entire year, but then again, I obviously am not paying enough in your eyes. Some people are just not worth $20/year and they have to get over the fact that no one is going to pay them that. Your proposals are stupid, at best. I can agree with your comment on getting unions and coroporations out of the lobbying and campaigning business, but your economic takes are horrible, ask Japan how Keynesian economics has worked for them during the 90′s through today.

Sounds like danimal needs to go out and either get a job, or start his own business……instead of unloading all of the falsehoods of the liberal Democrat talking points.
Unfortunately, there are many people out there, who would read his trash, and believe it. Bassackwards as it is.
I’m just waiting for the “……and the Republicans and Tea Partiers want them to eat cat and dog food!……and when you run out of that, eat the cat and the dog!……”
Give it up, danimal. Get off your “…someone else should pay my way…” mentality. Nobody owes you anything in life.
