Political Quotes

“What do Iran, Ebenezer Scrooge, and the Republican tax scam have in common? Well, they are all ruthless, cutthroat, coldblooded, heartless, and stingy. That is why I voted ``no'' on the Republican tax scam, and if I could have added an H to the no, I would have. This legislation gives 83 percent of the tax cuts to the wealthiest 1 percent, while raising taxes on 86 million middle-income families. The numbers prove that this is a tax cut for the ultrawealthy and not for the middle class, and anyone who tries to deceive you into thinking otherwise, shame on them. Adding insult to injury, this tax cut adds $1.5 trillion to the national debt, and Republicans will soon use the debt to justify their ultimate plan, which is to cut Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security. Today's vote proves that Republicans care more about the wealthy and big multinational corporations than they do for ordinary people. Merry Christmas to the wealthy, who already have plenty, and to their special interest lobbyists. And to the rest of America struggling to make ends meet, bah humbug. ____________________”
