Uh....bullshit? As if "real criminals" aren't in there now, too??
Shadyacres:
Republicans are heartless and greedy. Democrats are incompetent and idealistic. I'll take incompetence over avarice any day.

Then you are as much a dupe as any Republican is.
Sorry, but "lesser of two evils" just doesn't cut it for me.

Then you are as much a dupe as any Republican is. And these are stereotypes.

I tend to agree, but I don't see how abolishing or privatizing social security, medicare, the Board of Education, or even the IRS will help. It seems to me that the root of the problem is the rapidly disappearing middle class which no longer has the money to spend to keep our economy afloat. All the republican, and tea party, solutions seem to leave the ultra rich in a position to get ultra richer, while not helping the average american at all ( no income tax, just a 23% sales tax on EVERYTHING ). At least the democratic side appears to be trying to help us little guys.

OMG....you've got to be kidding! No seriously, I had not heard about this. Assuming it is true, that is outright insanity.
However, I don't believe in income tax, as it usually ends up becoming 'welfare for the rich.'
