Tax & trade and more taxes
Use_More_OIL_NOW 9th Nov 2009
Wait till the Bush tax cuts go out,
you will see unemployment go higher than
the bogus 10% it is really 16%...

Since the past month 500,000+ jobs were
lost and I am sure with Cap & Trade
we will be enjoying more unemployment!

CHANGE

Yes, change the greatest country on earth
and make it despise free markets and
people who work. Lets reward the welfare
and HUD people who cost more $$$ than
the bogus free health_care fiasco with
socialist strings.
