"REAL AMERICA" DOESN'T ASK PEOPLE TO MAKE DONATIONS FOR THEIR CLOTHING
The reports of Palin's Beautiful People lift, as she fights for every tax dollar to "go to our families", are just the kind of comedy that makes GOP hypocrisy so ... oddly familiar, like a phantom limb on the political corpus.
I say this, having myself remarked Hillary's growing and exceptionally nice jewelry collection.
At least Hillary was out there saying that she and Bill were "fine" and would be fine.
Meanwhile, the rhetoric around Joe-the-Plumber has come unhinged. A 3% tax rise, back to the Clinton-era levels, on a purported "small business man" who *nets* a quarter million, or $250,000 is $7,500.
Yet, this is getting spun as his avenue to "create new jobs". Unless they are talking about illegal workers, that would be 1/8th of a licensed plumber, based on average salaries for the profession in his state ...
Meanwhile, someone else (in Detroit?) can get a job if "Joe" is taxed, because that other employer won't have to pay health insurance the State may provide and if a single-payor ends up in a position to wring the excess costs out of that industry...
