		<description>mtraven, of course you&#039;re right. If the exec. branch determines the bailout is in the best interests of the economy then they should award an equal sum to the have-nots; after all the have-nots are &quot;honestly-poor&quot; and the rentiers can minimize their losses (and we suspect rentiers of inordinate greed anyway). The next time I send in my quarterly taxes, I&#039;m going to donate an equal amount to to the charity of your choice; after all, fair is fair, right?</description>

		<description>Speaking of Joe Biden, how come he has the benefit of a fast train that takes him straight to Wilmington and back to DC everyday.  I know the railroad has been there for a while, but why did Wilmington, Delaware end with a fast Amtrack like the one that goes to New York from DC.</description>

		<description>Roger rules!

The world is turning upside down. All we hold dear is under attack from Godless Communists who continue to abuse their Freedom. Now is the time to make a stand.

The Bible says: &quot;He who stands firm to the end will be saved.&quot;

George W. Bush stands firm. Sarah Palin stands firm. They will not blink! Their Resolve and Goodness raises them above all petty questions of knowledge (remember, the Serpent of Satan coiled in the Tree of Knowledge!), experience, or mere so-called education.

Now more than ever before, thieving socialist elites like Barack Obama and Joe Biden are plotting to destroy Capitalism, the only system that lets us become what we are, brings Wealth to the Deserving, and leaves enough left over to help those who are truly in need. The past eight years of Leadership under George W. Bush stand as proof of this!

God is a risk taker. He set Adam and Eve in the Garden and gave them the right to choose. He  has made a significant investment in us, and He expects a return.  He gives us freedom and He rewards the risk taker. That is the essence of true Capitalism!

Let us not blink in these perilous times!

Vote Palin/McCain!</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t get it.  Nothing stops Democrats/limousine liberals from paying however much they want in taxes; why don&#039;t they pay more themselves?  

If the &quot;rich&quot; deserved to be taxed more, why aren&#039;t rich Democrats setting an example by pouring their excess into the federal coffers?

If paying taxes is &quot;patriotic&quot;, let&#039;s see their tax returns so we can see for ourselves how patriotic they are.

		<description>&quot;Wall Street&quot; has some blame in this, but the origin of the latest debacle is the misguided lending policies largely supported by the Democratic Party in order to buy votes.

Serious reform of the oversight of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac has died in the Senate Banking Committee three of the last four years without a Democratic co-sponsor.  

The latest iteration of this Bill has been in this committee since April 2007.  

For Barney Frank and Chris Dodd to claim to be innocent bystanders is a pathetic attempt to shift blame to the Republicans and President Bush.  At the very least, these two should lose their chairmanships.  The more appropriate response would be for them to be held criminally liable for the lack of oversight.</description>

		<description>Perfectly acceptable statement.  This is the democratic position on taxes and its nice to see they mean it and are consistent.</description>

		<description>Roger, there may be some truth in what you say, but it comes across as diversionary. Those of us on the right, of all people, must be the first to take on the amorality of the attitudes, beliefs and actions that characterize those who have abused the system (see the headlines) that you-and I-think is better than socialism. In short, you have no standing to speak of this until the other evils are faced and fixed.</description>

		<description>That&#039;s pretty rich.  After a week in which the government has arranged a massive transfer of wealth from the taxpayers to Wall Street rentier class, Roger is incensed that Obama&#039;s mildly progressive tax proposal is &quot;redistribution of wealth&quot;.  Apparently while redistribution from the haves to the have-nots is creeping socialism, theivery, and despotism, while redistribution in the other direction doesn&#039;t even merit notice.</description>
