When it comes right down to it, believing that cutting taxes for the country's wealthiest people creates jobs is no different than believing a cheating, drinking, gambling, or abusive spouse when they tell you, "I swear, baby, it will never happen again."

Right now, lies are too profitable to the media conglomerates, and too comforting to many ordinary Americans.Abu Scooterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12042644295020578484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18773945.post-40827971441535709002011-09-02T01:58:14.363-07:002011-09-02T01:58:14.363-07:00To answer your last question: never.To answer your last question: never.Peregrinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16654008518883032649noreply@blogger.com
