Now I know what is wrong with Congress

[kindathesame]

There are now 71 openly Socialist members of Congress. They call themselves the Congressional Progressive Caucus. I'm sure you have heard the group 'liberals' substituted with the word ' progressives' in the main stream media dialogue. Now we know why...they have to take baby steps to introduce socialism to America and they have been doing so for decades. It looks to me as though socialism is coming to fruition very quickly now. Soon they will be able to say Socialist quite openly because the majority of the people will be getting "free" gifts from the Federal Government which Obama has promised to rebuild on the backs of the Middle Class  people.
If anyone gets offended with that last statement please remember that Obama said it - Im just reminding you....and he didn't say "on our backs" but thats what it will be. He knows he will never get enough money from taxing the elite group of wealthy people in America. But I digress. A quote from  article proclaiming the victory of the Congressional Progressive Caucus: " Don’t be fooled by their districts. The Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC) is not a tiny faction of lawmakers representing radical university towns and well-heeled chardonnay sippers on the Left Coast. With the control of Congress formally shifting to the Democratic Party last month, the CPC is growing in size and influence. It is shifting into high gear and intends to bring its revolutionary vision to all of America."

I think it's okay to be very afraid now.

How else is he going to be?  Your opinion differs, so he'll have no problem telling you you're wrong and will offer up all kinds of condescending remarks.  It's what happens here....

Obviously I am not referring to you sm. Did you really really think I was referring to you? Seriously?

Yes, I've got many over seas accounts.  LOL

I guess that is why they keep their money in overseas bank accounts. Cause they think it unfair to pay taxes on it. Poor Poor fellers. NOT!

[specialmom]

Pfffft. is right NG!  I was just wondering what those who feel Republicans are wrong for working to be in the mix of fairness (knowing that some think just because one is wealthy it is unfair for them to not WANT to pay more taxes) thought of a flat tax rate.  

But that's okay. I am NOT an expert in any way obviously nor do I think I have a novel ideas to help the situation.

Pfffft.

NO need to be so rude.

I was actually trying to have a reasonable discussion.  OBVIOUSLY a flat tax isn't something SM or I came up with ourselves, and this is the first time anyone is hearing it.

Whatever.
