Of course they are because when you are wearing the suit yourself you'll have no cash outlays for the entertainment.
Thanks.

We're talking about two wealth addicted terrorist billionaires who can't get enough, are committing treasonous acts against the American government and people to get more, Why haven't they been arrested yet?

As described in Greg Palast's book "Billionaires and Ballot Bandits" that prints some transcripts. To make a long story short, they supported a conservative Senator who had the Federal Prosecutor removed from the case. Charges were soon dropped.

It's good to be the king.

Join me protesting September 13- November 4th (Election Day)!!!

Organize a protest in your city/town and spread the word to your local Democratic Party, Unions, and other Progressive organizations fighting for various good causes blocked by these assholes!

The time is NOW to show them all that things are going to change! We can do this and tell the politicians that they have to quit their Koch habit cold turkey!!!

Have these people ever actually seen a circus? "Tightrope walkers, aerialists, jugglers, and magicians" are all skilled performers, as are clowns, for that matter.

.........Dubbed the "Creepy Carenival," the July 23rd event promises "to expose Obamacare for the freak show that it really is." The invite explains, "it's no secret that Obamacare hasn't lived up to the hype: All across the country premiums have spiked, millions have lost their insurance and their doctors, and, what's worse, we're continually being sold a bundle of lies about how great Obamacare has been for our generation!"

15. Ha--more Republicans are satisfied with their Obamacare than some DUers were in the early days!

I never saw such whining and crying in all my life--amazing how all that has died down.

I guess it's not so bad, and I guess it IS the first step on the long road to single payer!

The nerve of that Obama guy, wanting people to have health insurance!

16. I'm a balloon twister/childrens magician

So I've hung out with a lot of different performers like this. I can safely say that most of them probably lean more to the liberal side of the political spectrum, and I'm going to bet that a lot of the ones performing at this thing will have gotten health insurance through the ACA or supports it.

Now owners of magic stores, I've found to be very conservative though.
