No, seriously, follow me on this: It’s a fresh, exciting, new idea, this taxing the rich angle I’ve come up with, and I think we can sell it to The People. After all, the rich are like, rich and stuff, and that’s just not fair to those of us who aren’t. Rich. And stuff. Everybody should be equally rich! Which, think about it: were that the case, snap! No poverty!

Sep 8, 2012. House chamber. B. Obama: “…and God Bless the United States of America”. Audience: thunderous applause. J. Boehner: (pounding gavel) Order in the chamber! Order in the chamber! Thank you Mr. President for an inspiring bi-partisan speech. In that same spirit of cooperation, we invite or to stay and listen to our jobs program. The chair recognizes Senator Rubio.

Only the government, by confiscating money from the private sector, taking some off the top themselves for administrative costs, then redistributing that confiscated money to union-supported industry unfairly suffering because the market is just too stupid to realize its value and the dignity of its workers, can create jobs. The socialist plan in a nutshell — laid out by Richard Trumka Wednesday, and soon to be parroted by his puppet,

I gave serious thought to holding off on this thing until, say, September 7 — then claiming the timing was, like, totally a coincidence — but in the end, I figured I don’t much care if either Jay Carney or Jon Huntsman comes to my defense. Besides, who really wants to share the stage with far right zealots, anyway. Not me, that’s for sure. Might get some of that old
