who's hating America today?

This one's almost too easy: Bernie Sanders.

According to the latest available statistics from the Internal Revenue Service, the top 1 percent of Americans earned significantly more income in 2005 than the bottom 50 percent. In addition, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) recently reported that the wealthiest 1 percent saw total income rise by $180,000 in 2005. That is more than the average middle-class family makes in three years. The CBO also found that the total share of after-tax income going to the top 1 percent hit the highest level on record, while the middle class and working families received the smallest share of after-tax income on record.

Why does Bernie have a problem with freedom?

Hey Bernie, why don't you try STOPPING THE IRAQ WAR? This "let's tax the rich coz they're getting richer while the poor are getting poorer" argument might get you re-elected, but it won't actually pass. And if it did, y'all will find some way of making it so that money won't get to where you said it will go. Well, or you'll make sure the no bid contracts go to "certain people". And $3 Billion to help pay down a $10 trillion deficit? Isn't that like 3 hundreths of 1% of the deficit? Will that cover the interest on the interest on the interest?

Is there ANY part of the government looking out for us?
