Clown slams Bartaroma over Obama Comments

[Stinky The Clown]

Famous Clown and avowed Curmudgeon, DU's own Stinky, today slammed CNBC's Maria Bartaroma over her twisting of answers she got in an interview with Democratic hopeful, Barak Obama.

Said the world famous angry clown, "Fuck you, Maria, you lying sack of shit. That's just your take, you Bush-league cheerleader."

Obama laid out a series of thoughtful and cogent economic plans. The Bartaroma woman, dissed them all.

Raise the cap gains tax from 15 to 25 or maybe 28. She said this will affect "millions of Americans". Tell ya what, 'Ria. That ain't high enuff! Tax the wealthy heavily just to get back even to where we were back in Prosperity Days (the preGeorgeEra).

Raise the marginal tax rate to 38%. Sez Shitferbrains Barta, "Now????? When the eceonomy sucks? Who will there be to spend???) Again ..... I say this is not high enough. I'd like tos ee the top rate on the top .05% up around 75% or 80%. Class warfare territory. The rich got rich BECAUSE of this country. Let 'em leave something for the poor folks.

Fuck you, Bartaroma.

(The foregoing based on an interview with Bartaroma by her news soulmate, Noron O'Donnell.)

1. She failed to note that most folks stocks are in retirement accounts so they do not have to pay

any capital gains when they buy and sell in these accounts. Bad, bad, Maria!

2. I enjoyed the Princess's comments that said:

"He proposes lowering taxes for middle class people
and taking the money from others.."

Yeah, Maria! What 'others' is he talkin' about?
Like the wealthy? What a shame!

Bush tried gifting the wealthy with lower taxes
than the rest of us peons, and how's that workin' for us?

Republican Princess shill!

4. something sure stinks

and it ain't stinky

"Enron, WorldCom, Arthur Anderson, Global Crossing, Tyco, NYSE, Qwest, Bear Stearns, CountryWide, etc.etc.etc... can anyone argue that more harm would have been done to the US economy, (besides just the pension funds, bond and shareholders) if those corporations' books, taxes, and compensation practices had been overscrutinized ?"

...and to answer my own question, i suppose many CEO's, Board members, and Hedge-Fund managers would have been "hurt", but then they (and Maria) live in one of the "TWO AMERICAs" in which i do not.

5. CNBC has become an out of the closet advocate for the rich and corporate no taxation view

6. They're as bad as Fox.

They couldn't understand why some taxpayers were against using taxpayers' money to bail out Bear Sterns, but helping out the poor homeowners who got scammed by mortgage companies was out of the question. Fuck em.

7. The other one on that network I don't care for is Erin Burnett

A little too full of herself, that one.
