If a four percent hike is oppressive Liberal Fascism, what does that make Eisenhower since he refused to lower the rate from 90%?

SuperRoboHitler?

Who told you about SuperRoboHitler?

More and more I’m agreeing with the idea that Obama’s real sin for these people is Presidenting While Black.

You realize that these people are totally disenfranchised because the majority didn’t elect the person they liked?

That’s right, they still got to vote, still get to vote, get to run for office, work for candidates of their choice, write letters to their reps but they are disenfranchised and taxed without representation despite recently voting.

yep.

If they believe they are disenfranchised because their guy didn’t get in, welcome to the club. 

Since I began voting (over 30-years ago) Barack Obama is the first president I’ve voted for who was elected.  I’ve managed to deal with the disappointment, and I’m sure they will too.  At least that’s what adults would do…

..why yes, I have expressed many times that I felt I was not represented by Bush.  But I never claimed I was disenfranchised by his selection.  Besides, the SCOTUS didn’t shove Obama down anybody’s throat…

We can has leftist revolution nao?  ‘Cuz I’m not getting any redistribution of wealth here at my end.  In fact, it’s looking pretty bleak on the money front.  What’s 4% of the income of a person at my income level?  It’s somewhere in the triple digits…

Sorry, but wasn’t it the right-wing who complained that liberalism is all about victimhood not so long ago?

The irony is amazing.

The suffering of the upper class is the suffering of real humans, and is hence unjust.  The suffering of the lower classes is the suffering of those who have not yet been made human, but are striving to become so.  Therefore their suffering is not painful at all.

CHV - just about everything the Repubs are doing right now proves, yet again, that it’s all about projection with them. 

Remember “Bush Derangement Syndrome”, when they couldn’t figure out that liberals actually had concrete and specific complaints against the Bush administration and decided that it was just some kind of psychosis?  Well now they have “Obama Derangement Syndrome”, except that we’re not making it up, they really don’t have any specific policy-related problems with Obama, it’s just an irrational fear of a liberal-leaning black president.

But Jesse, those 4.6 percentage points of increase that were signed into law by George Bush after being approved a a republican majority in congress represent a more than 13% increase in top marginal rate. And as we all know, the lowered marginal rate was responsible for a decade of unparalelled economic growth and job creation the likes of which the nation had never seen before, uh, or it would have been if not for 9/11 and Iraq, and that nasty community reinvestment act, and those damn kids…

So for Obama to follow through on the promises of a republican congress and a republican president is nothing short of socialism!

Let’s just say that the party of manliness and personal responsibility shows itself once again to be the biggest bunch of shrinking-violet wimps since Versailles.

But…but…straight white men are so underrepresented!

But!  But!  If you combine that four-percent increase for those earners with the fact that billions are going to private banks, you get total socialism!  That’s exactly what Stalin did: raise the income tax to Lenin’s level, give billions to bankers, and all without a decent system to control how the money is spent.  Everyone knows that Rothchilds and Carnegie and Howard Hughes built all of the USSR’s gulags, right?  Right?

Please tell me if I’m wrong, as it’s so difficult to keep up with the latest version.

I’m afraid the team from Richwhitemanistan came in last at the Oppression Olympics.

Unattractive as it is, it certainly beats “people who live[] in a country that enslaved an entire group of people, put others in internment camps and maintained policies which, for decades, have helped create a permanent underclass based on race and ethnicity” talking about how superior they are to every foreigner, with their foreign ways.

put others in internment camps

See!  See!  This is what the libruls were plotting all along ... they gonna put all teh Real Amurkins(tm) in INTERNET camps and then the real slavery will begin!

Thank you Ms Kate for finally revealing to me what the shout at the end of that song was!

Well now they have “Obama Derangement Syndrome”, except that we’re not making it up, they really don’t have any specific policy-related problems with Obama, it’s just an irrational fear of a liberal-leaning black president.

Actually, considering that political power is as potent a drug as any, like your average junkie, I think the GOP is emotionally crashing now after so many years of near-exclusive authority. Too bad for them there’s no such thing as political detox; they’ll just have to suffer thru the withdrawal pains.

CHV, it’s about false victimhood. They really are victims, you see.

Opo, that’s a low blow, I suspect even if you presented Obama’s actual agenda to these people without labeling it, they’d disagree with it. It’s not just because he’s a black Democrat, though that doesn’t help.

put others in internment camps

You really shouldn’t laugh. Being an intern is horrible. I still flinch when I smell instant hazelnut-flavored coffee…
