Assuredly, there are pinheads out there that believe Democrats have not raised the price of any taxes, goods or services. Denying those facts makes them look a bit on the retarded side.

Clinton reformed welfare, cutting enrollment by 7 million people and spending by 56 billion. He cut snap by 24 billion. He balanced the budget.

Bush expanded medicaid enrollment and gave us medicare part d - a new entitlement. He gave us the american dream act - the entitlement that broke the economy.

Your job is to pretend that gingrich is responsible for clinton's good government and bawney fwanks is responsible for bush's give-aways. 

I trust you to do your job.

No need to recycle anything, the DSA platform has it all written down in black and white.

Tell your rich friends to limit how much they have in retirement accounts. If it's over $10 million, Democrats want a piece of it. They have realized the billionaire doesn't have enough money for their fantasy. After $10 million, it will be $5 million and then $1 million.

That would be a shame if they hindered their personal wealth based on the fantasy Democrats will tax "the rich" (the definition of which is constantly under microscopic scrutiny)

Clinton was a PIKER compared to reagan. Now THAT guy knew how to raise taxes.

On workers, anyway. The wealthy saw a cut.
