Surprise: Study Says Perry’s Tax Plan Would Help the RichPosted on Nov 1, 2011
This might come as a shock to a handful of people: The nonpartisan Tax Policy Center has released its analysis of GOP presidential contender Rick Perry’s proposed tax plan and has come away with the distinct impression that Perry’s approach favors Americans in the upper income-earning brackets, regardless of his plan’s distracting put-it-on-a-postcard accessorizing gimmick. —KA

What glider says about a HISTORY of commensurate action is true and critical.
In campaign season, such as now, the politicians may have a spasm of words with action. These are nothing but a show and a con. It is the actions during the metaphorical dog-days of office, away from campaign season, that are indicative of true motivations and capabilities. Hold fast to the record of these actions, and ignore the current B.S.
Thanks for pointing it out, glider.

More to the point. In America we are free to bitch (so far), and then vote your preferred poison. Arsenic or cyanide. Every election cycle the public’s gullibility breeds ever more toxic choices each following election. That is the game until the public wises up. At that time the game will change to a different con. Keep your eyes and ears open to reality and ignore the rhetoric. Be aware that words and speeches (ala Obama) without a history of commensurate action are meaningless deceit.

I agree with Cyr. Big wow, Republicans unabashedly propose policies that further enrich the elite class. Your other “option”, Democrats are sneakier bastards who unabashedly claim to support the people but in fact only cater to the elite. The corporations provide you with 2 choices each of which is designed to fuck the public.
The greatest contribution of audaciousness of Obama 2008 versus our current reality is to reveal “the fix” and absence of any possibility of “change” through our so called “democracy”. Support OWS !!!

Note how (D) corporate party hacks who infest truthdig have so many articles about those nasty Republican candidates required to GOTV for the corporate party’s greater evil Democrats.
Liberals are (D) dedicated to ensuring that the corporate (R) & (D) party’s candidates be the only “electable” candidates — (D) dedicated to sustainable fascism.
While tens of millions of (D) disengenuous fucking liberals fearfully flock to the polls in 2012, to again provide another massive popular vote mandate for more war and no care for health, I’ll be POTUS voting for Jill Stein, whether she’s “electable” or not.
