#2 I agree with that. It's a good sound-bite, and when the press comes at you, you can then explain how the GM and Chrysler bailouts have enriched the unions and fat-cats, and how the jobs are going overseas. That'll make the Dhimmicrats swirm.

#3 Good thought NS. "I will sell off Fannie & Freddie," might play as well.

#6 Corporations do NOT pay taxes. Consumers pay taxes. Whatever Uncle Sam "taxes" business, is passed right along to you and me. I've never been able to figure out why this simple fact escapes some folks.

#7 I've never been able to figure out why this simple fact escapes some folks.

If you look at all of AH9418's comments for the day, the reason becomes apparent. 50% of all people are below average.

#8 I thought it was that something like half are within one standard deviation of average.
