Grassley on Senate floor whining about "persecuting a few millionaires"

[Skidmore]

because a bill is up asking that dividends be taxed a little more.

[Beelzebud]

1. Those poor millionaires. Good thing they have the Republicans to protect

them.

[LincolnMcGrath]

2. Yes, because after all, UNEARNED INCOME should have a lower

tax rate than EARNED INCOME. :puke:

[liberal N proud]

3. Bwaaaaa!

Didn't bother him to persecute a few thousand elderly and low income citizens with Medicare reform.

[laheina]

15. But you see...

...the Republican ideal is to persecute as many people as possible in one fell swoop. You can screw millions, or tens of millions, with Medicare cuts. A few thousand millionaires--that's just bad form!

[Bluzmann57]

4. But Grassley mows his own lawn.

That was a campaign commercial he had two years ago. I guess it was supposed to make him look like a "common man", which he obviously isn't. Personally, I wish he'd leave Iowa and stay in DC.

[Skidmore]

9. Old Lawnmowerman himself.

I know farmers that are really hurting with diesel costs this year, and they will continue to vote for him because he's "one of them."

[Kadie]

5. and he is giving me a terrible headache.

I think I need to change the channel.

[myrna minx]

6. Yes-Someone needs to stand up for the plight if the millionaires!

:rofl:

[Beelzebud]

7. Just turned on C-Span and heard him say "Persecuting the few millionairs"

What a fucking piece of shit.

Persecuting millinoairs.... AHHHH That makes as much fucking sense as these morons saying Christianity is being persecuted...

[SammyWinstonJack]

12. He said that with a straight face?

Jesus! That should be played on the corporate media :rofl: over and over and over until it sinks in with Americans who continue to vote against their own financial interests so millionaires who don't give a rat's ass about them, can keep more of their money, while the little people pay more in taxes!

[Iowa]

8. Grassley is such a tool...

...nothing but an errand-boy for his corporate handlers.

[DBoon]

10. It's just like the holocaust

the liberals are persecuting the wealthy!

[KharmaTrain]

11. Us Millionaires Have Such A Tough Time

I mean, we have such a tough time with the "help". If it isn't those pesky Mexicans who refuse to speak English when I swear at them, it's those rancid Asians who just aren't cranking things out fast enough. Then there's the problem with those other brown-skinned types...they're either trying to kill me or steal from me.

Now you know why I need tax breaks. I mean, it's expensive buying all that maalox and mailing in all those campaign contributions to Chuckles Grassley and all my other Repugnican toadies. Sometimes it requires desperate measures like me forcing them out for a $250 dinner or 18 holes of golf on my private jet, but a guy's gotta do what a guy's gotta do.

I could only imagine what gozillionaires like Crashcart Chenney or georgie boooosh have to go through

:sarcasm:

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

13. Wasn't that old fool supposed to retire years ago?

I recall him claiming he had run for his last term somewhere around the time of the Anita Hill scandal.

[Nutmegger]

14. Those poor millionaires

It's bad enough that they get their tax cuts through! Oh whatever are we to do without the rich men?!

[SeattleGirl]

16. These people are professional victims

Good grief! The Rethugs have the entire government in their control, they have more money than God, and THEY'RE the victims???!!! Hey Grassley -- bite me! :grr:
