#3: how do you protect democracy by subverting it? Is that like how the fairness doctrine protecting free speech by shutting conservatives up?
-
Dear DUmpmonkeys,
This is congress speaking.
No.
-
I also see that in #3 conveinentlly, there is no set number on what the richest's "fair share" should be in their opinion. :whatever:
-
You have a list of Congressional Demands in one hand and in the other you have a pile of crap. Which one weighs more.
-
What, no beer & pizza?

They both stink.

I refuse to read anything in ALL CAPS.
-
Now, is this list made up of real "people's demands" or is it another bullshit mess that's only going to be retracted in a few days?

I was wondering what happened to the demand for a trillion dollars in trees to be planted.

No.
Yeh. None o' that BS is gonna happen.

Pass the Buffett Rule.
Bwuahahahahahahahaha!!!! Dumbass scumbags. Buffett's company owes $1 billion in back taxes that he has an army of lawyers fighting. He's a senile hypocrite.
These people bitch and moan about jobs going to China now - pass the Buffett Rule and see jobs leave at an even faster pace.
WTF is wrong with these people?
-
Threre goes their claim this is a people's movement with no identifiable ideology attached. This is right out of the liberal/progressive/Marxist handbook.

No.
:lmao: Ain't that the truth! Is Pelosi saying "God Bless them" now? :lmao:
-
Pelosi called these stoners "focussed." After which she became the laughingstock of the country.
Greta reported on a certain demand made by these clowns. Doctors should not be permitted to make any more than $28,000 per year. :lmao:
It's time for a hard killing frost.

Of the country, yes, but in her lunatic Sodomy City congressional district, it was good politics.

I'm disappointed with the lack of exclamation points. Your internet demands are never met unless you use at least three exclamation points.

My 19-month old is more mature and has less childish demands than these losers.

:popcorn:
Uh, hate to break it to them, but we are not a democracy. Can't protect what we don't have. If only they knew the Pledge, they would know this..."And for the REPUBLIC for which it stands..."
