Best Idea in a while

http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/75459-dem-congressman-introduced-50-tax-on-bonuses

So the banks who received our tax money thanks to George Bush are going to start announcing how much money they paid in bonuses in 2009. Keep in mind the banks, thanks to deregulation, almost bankrupted our country. Now I said at the time let them fail because of those bonuses and still feel the same but I heard a great idea from Democrat Peter Welch who introduced legislation that would have a %50 tax on all bonuses over $50,000. Congrats sir that is the best idea but it should be on over $1000. These are bonuses so undeserved.

Year End

I decided to give my year end idiot of the year award. There are so many candidates it's not funny but the winner truly defines the spirit of the award. Runners up include Sarah Palin, John McCain, Rush, Bill O Idiot but the winner is


The Tea Party Movement

Keep in mind they really don't understand what the Boston Tea Party is but I remember attenting a rally (and being escorted out) and just asking simple questions and being able to tell them their placement of anger is completely wrong. For instance

The Deficit. Democrats had a balanced budget REPUBLICANS under George Bush ran it up. Deomcrats when they were in charge of the country had a BUDGET SURPLUS. But that didn't stop them.

Taxes. To this point taxes haven't gone up in fact I'm getting more on my paycheck (not much) and so did everyone I ask. Again misplaced anger

Bank Bailouts. That was BUSH'S IDEA. Not Democrats.

So their main reasons at the first protest are all created by Republicans yet they are blaming Democrats. They are hypocrites and clearly the idiots of the year.
