Sunday Stuff

Hey, Mikey The Beloved, see all the fun you're running away from (more here - you can sense at about 5:00 that Dent is losing the crowd when he starts blaming Obama for supposedly "not showing up" for the negotiation on raising the debt ceiling...and by the way, there was no "negotiation" under Dubya; the Repugs just did it 14 times; also, would somebody explain to me what Dent finds so damn funny at about 5:20? And he starts talking about the alternative minimum tax?).

One more Dent lie has to do with supposedly taking $500 billion from Medicare from health care reform...as noted here by the Kaiser Family Foundation, health care reform "actually increased Medicare spending to provide more benefits and coverage."

Also, I think this is timely given the whole "Obama wants to tax corporate jets" thing (Dent and his pals really should abandon that talking point), and here is some important information from former Clinton Labor Secretary Robert Reich on Medicare and Social Security (in response to Dent).

God, is Dent a typical lying Repug shill...



...and here's another timely tune (sorry, no video).

The Dent video is very encouraging, it tells me the people are finally understanding what the repugs intent really is.
What is always missing in the topic of the wealthy and taxes is the tax rate for those whose wealth comes from investments, such as hedge fund managers.
Warren Buffet has commented on this many times, but the public just does not jump on it.
