So Mika, you live in a modest home in Connetic

So Mika, you live in a modest home in Connecticut,  drive Ford and clip coupons, right?

and it’s none of your effin business. what she’s really mad about is that after 2 1/2 years of Obama that these people still have some of their own money.

She’s got that right … I have no shame in being successful.  In fact, I’m proud of it.  I am the very definition of “living shamelessly”.  I’m also the very definition of “paying for everyone else who is dead weight” and the definition of “tired of being attacked for it”.

So she’s including herself in that mix right? Because I see how she’s dressed every morning. Pretty sure she’s not shopping at Walmart.

Bubble-headed no-knowing twit.

Liberals and their trolls in the media are so transparent.  Class war, race war, yawn!

How about the welfare mom who refuses to look for work and keeps having kids so the state can pay her medical and food benefits. If living wealthy is shameless, then sign me up.

Ordinarily I would be inclined to side with low or no tax increases, but at this point in time it’s really rich to be asking the poor to tighten they’re collective belts and bear austerity measures for those rich who are struggling to scrap by on a few million. 

The only pinch they’re feeling, I imagine, is the pinch of a pair of new gold plated shoes.

Of course the rich have gotten richer. What do you think the intent of those swell Bush tax cuts were? To let the rich keep more of their money so they could rive the economy. they sure did a great job especially when you consider the net result of said cuts gave us TARP-1. That sure worked out great for everybody. Th rich got back all the money they lost and hand crafted a fantastic economy where everybody prospered. Oh wait-you mean that didn’t happen? You mean the rich who are supposed to be providers and job creators didn’t create a single job and instead are letting America flounder while they buy $1500 dollars shoes. Huh that sure doesn’t fit into any of the supply side memes I’ve seen recently. I guess when you get to keep all your lovely money through corporate welfare you’re absolved of actually having to help fix the problem leaving government to do it. I guess the icing on the cake is when Obama gives money to the American people via an economic stimulus he’s a commie socialist but when Bush gives cash to Wall street he’s…well what does that make him? I guess we’ll never know because whenever you ask a republican about it they scream and stomp their feet about Bush not being on the ballot. Its ok though as long as the GOP refuses to confront the failure of Bush’s policies Obama cold set the White house on fire and start eating babies on the front lawn and still win re-election.   

The bottom 50% pay nothing.  We certainly can’t ask them to pay less.

I wonder how much her daddy brings in each year from his consulting business, the Center For Strategic and International Studies?

Not that I care. Make all the money you want, but I’d be willing to bet that he wears suits that cost more than the shoes that brought Mika to such despair.

I also wonder just how he and Mika shelter their money, what loopholes and dodges they use.

Mika is just another linmosine liberal, so convinced of her own moral righteousness that she can’t see that she’s not only a product of what she criticizes, she has met her enemy face to face – and she is it.

 Feel free to carry your tired fat ass back to Breitbart’s lie factory Ms Bachmann.

Can you believe that 100 people spent $38,500 each on dinner last night?

Come on, Mika.  The people with money are still free to spend THEIR money as they choose.  If a $1500 pair shoes is their preference, so be it.  It’s none of your business and none of mine.  So mind your own business!

Poor Mika- always the lib hypocrite.

Mika, progressive hypocrite.

Democrats think that if you are rich you must have had to steal from others to be successful.

Why? Because that’s how you become a successful Democrat.

it’s really rich to be asking the poor to tighten they’re collective belts”

Who said that? I think you just made it up. There were no taxes on the middle-class with the passage of the debt ceiling bill.

There sure are a lot of wealthy, successful people anonymously commenting on political forums about how wealthy and successful they are. 

God I wonder who makes those products how did those products get to that store. I wonder whose working behind the counter at these places. Must be the rich. Evil rich people

“Shame” is an ineffective frame.  The problem is a slow moving political system made all the slower by the fracture of a political party into mildly and wildly irrational factions.  

I must say, you do have the Midas touch; everything you touch, turns into a muffler!

BTW, market down over 330 now- was down over 400!

Heck of a job, Barry. Can’t wait to see the unemployment number tomorrow. I’m sure YOU will be in it!

Here, let me help you:  http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/ezra-klein/post/why-do-half-of-all-americans-pay-no-federal-income-taxes/2011/07/11/gIQA8olBuI_blog.html?wprss=ezra-klein

That’s because they have the free time to do so!

I’m poor and useless, but I’m glad for sunset, please keep spending your money, sunny, that’s what makes the REAL world go round.

I suppose no one on Morning Joke considered that the sale of those shoes supported any number of jobs along the supply line including those of the owners of the store, those of the employees of the store selling the shoes, those transporting the shoes to the store, those providing services to the store, those providing services to the transporters of the shoes, etc, etc. These people are all generating fees and taxes that our beloved government can redistribute to the less fortunate. Instead of bemoaning the fact that people were buying expensive shoes, Mika should be encouraging the sale of even more shoes.

And yet you cannot stop responding to my posts. Why is that a-holio? You need me to insult you and your asinine world view some more?

Yeah, the markets. Please do put a large cork in it. 

Look who’s here, berated any poor, retarded children lately, you whore. This is the woman that yesterday made a reference to Tripp in a really nasty way regarding his handicap, so let’s be real nice to her.

Thanks RS.  Being a dimwitted liberal (or is it librul? – I get very confused), I naturally assumed that some people – shielded by the anonymous nature of the internet – would lie, or at least exaggerate, in order to help them prove a point.  

Oh, you must be referring to all the poor and middle-class people who attended Barry’s fund raiser. Thank God he didn’t allow any “rich” people to attend.

you got an extra copy of the communist manifesto I can borrow, douchebag. Hey, it’s just after the first, you get your welfare check yet, we can go buy some 40′s and a pack of hamhocks.

of course the rich their talking about are recepients of Obama’s stimulus and various other bailouts including bankers, wall street, teachers making over 100k, GM, GE and overpaid Goverment employees (union). Wall street is flush with cheap Obama money.  The Press fails to mention this.

Tone! Tone! You are melting down again. Do do other than name call?

Hey you know what; I  did! Right after one of your cretinous nitwits brought up the retarded. Of course you missed that part. Why? I’m going to guess you’re just a run of the mill idiot. Sorry asshole-you lose-AGAIN!

wow, rambling, illogical and misguided! You hit the talking points trifecta.

Here is Valerie’s point of view, in a nutshell.

1) Poor Obama has been powerless to stop republicans from running washington.

2) the rich dont really create jobs. (who does then, the poor?)

3) Its all Bush’s fault even today.  

4) If the democrats have done something wrong, its that they havent done enough. I want more entitlements, more spending, medicare for all, and deficits be damned. Lets tax the rich at 100% to pay for it.

Did I leave anything out Valerie?

There is no justification for the vile comments you made about a child.

just because mika is a hypocrite doesn’t necessarily mean that she doesn’t have a
valid point.

in fact, i’m surprised she didn’t take it a step further and argue that the hedge fund
managers, for example, behind the credit default swap CRIMES are guilty of treason.

there!

 Yeah I can point out when your posts make no sense asshole. You meant to type do you do anything thing other than name call?   If you weren’t melting down you might be able to complete a sentence. 

As if you deserve civility. In the words of Jonah Goldberg-”go to hell.”
 

Isnt that the goal, to have a life free from shame?

Hmmm the subtle racism in equating welfare with “40″ and “hamhocks” is beneath contempt but hardly surprising.

But I already knew you were a worthless bucket of stale urine.

Good day. 

According to this article, in 2007 Mika the ferret was making close to $500,000 per year. Cry me a river, Mika.

http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/brzezinski-i-felt-washed-up_b15584

No one brought up tripp, Palin or the retarded, you’re just a loser with nothing to bring to the conversation, so you name call and pick on retarded children. Real compassionate progressive, bitch. And with you, I couldn’t lose if I died first, so suck my dick.Why don’t you head back into your Mom’s basement and get back to dungeons and dragons, child.

No problem- most dim-witted libs such as yourself have to work for people such as me.

See now you’re lying. Game over-you lose.

btw, mika makes a tiny fraction of what hank paulson makes, for instance

the guy who argued that credit default swaps “weren’t a problem serious enough to
warrant regulation”

She actually does drive a Ford pick-up.

so you believe that obama isn’t an actual liberal, then.

thank you for stating that ON THE RECORD

Poor thing; can you throw off sparks, too?

Check all val’s previous posts,i’m gonna try to get her flagged out of here, but she’ll be back under a new name, I’m sure.

“Obama cold set the White house on fire and start eating babies on the front lawn and still win re-election”Your so right, with idiots like you that vote. You would eat glass and drink toilet water just so Obama can have another filet…. Please dont procreate

Yes, if you guys want to bring up the retarded then you get Trip jokes. I’ve already caused three people to stop so on the face of it; I am victorious.

While you are old bitter and insufferably stupid. 

 course “communist” means “slightly raising taxes on the wealthy”

Yeah you didn’t refudiate a single point. But nice try for an amateur!

Democrats think no such thing. During difficult times, recessions, the Depression, all of our many wars, the wealthy lived circumspect. Being ostentatious in such times was considered tacky and boorish. It is tacky and boorish. It is also divisive. Of course, tacky, boorish and divisive pretty much describes today’s T-Partee Terrorists.

thanks for proving why democrats aren’t actually democrats

i’m glad she doesn’t shop at wal-mart

One of your three (3) memes, huh, Michelle-in-Utah. Tacky, boorish and divisive Michelle-in-Utah. Where did I hear that?

Wow- that went right or your head or that stump you refer to as a head.

what matters is what you KEEP after taxes, dude

compare what the rich and poor keep, and you’ll see what i mean

Valerie,
Have you taken up drug use in the last 48 hours?   You were barely tolerable before, but have recently gotten significantly worse. 

Mika meet Kettle. Kettle, Mika.

But she is still “rich.” make as much as Hank Paulson?

MG- she is a ignorant talking head!

Try again!

The Deficit Ceiling bill was 98% of what Böner wanted. Ergo, 98% of the blame lies with .Böner

hank paulson made 39 million in 2006

mika makes 1/78th of paulson’s salary

I think it’s you implying that only black people buy 40′s with their welfare checks.  Your mind obviously goes there when you hear those statements.  So who’s the racist again?

Every power movement needs a villan.For liberals it is the wealthy.By focusing attention on wealth they can deflect attention from the failure that is liberalism and the suffering that failure now brings to this country.

I don’t fawn over the wealthy like Republicans but I don’t demonize them either.Like it or not they are one of the more important job engines along with big business,another favorite liberal target.

Just because people and businesses are successful doesn’t automatically mean you must soak them of all you can get away with to fund massive government debt and spending.

You mean you stopped fondling your horses to come in and post that? Why bother?

Hey where’s my fresh cup of coffee?

Oh, so Boehner NOW controls the markets? Why didn’t the DOW hit 14000 when Boehner was made SOTH?

LMAO

I wish I was related to Hank! BTW, Hank probably does more than just make snide remarks and roll his eyes. That’s all I ever see the ferret do.

 What is shameless is the $35000 ticket for Obama’s party.

Rich got richer?

Like this?

Pelosi’s wealth grows by 62 percent
By Kevin Bogardus – 06/15/11 12:46 PM ET
 
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) saw her net worth rise 62 percent last year, cementing her status as one of the wealthiest members of Congress.
 
Pelosi was worth at least $35.2 million in the 2010 calendar year, according to a financial disclosure report released Wednesday. She reported a minimum of $43.4 million in assets and about $8.2 milion in liabilities.
 
For 2009, Pelosi reported a minimum net worth of $21.7 million.

Poor Mika, I am sure she doesn’t consider herself as one of those rich people. Typical liberal da as I say not as I do. SHAME on you

It’s funny how the right never looks at why 46% of Americans didn’t pay any income tax.  That number is going to keep on growing too as more and more Americans leave the middle class and the poor continue to grow.

Uh you would be the racist. This is a well known and well documented fact.

And you left out hamhocks-a treat white people can’t get enough of!!! 

Nice try but you lose-AGAIN.

What dick? That’s a stub.

Poor thing; here is what Barry has given America:

 
9.2% unemployment
Record monthly deficits
Record debt
Record # of foreclosures
Record # on welfare
Record # living in poverty
US house price fall ‘beats Great Depression slide’

Oh yeah. Fresh from the tap! So when are getting together?

And you, the children to post that?

and how else do other people know of there “tacky and boorish” behaviour. because of nosey, can’t mind there own damn business liberal newpapers and journalist like the NYT and MSNBC who go out of there way to report it. i don’t give a damn how people spend there money and live there lives. it’s nobodies business but there own.

Imelda Marcos would be proud.

Exactly Dumkopf-the rich got richer! Thanks for proving my point!

Now you can eat some dung and expire slowly!

Next?

She’s right though! The stats on disparity are obscene and the politics is all about how to protect “the wealthy few”.
Beyond ideology, this simply is untenable with economy steadily getting worse.

Sweetie, if you think I crave your attention, you’re even dumber than I thought.  I hope you keep posting because you embarrass yourself more with each comment. 

Hypocrite Mika. She has a wealth-maximizing job. If she espoused ‘socialism’ truthfully, she’d have lesser shoes herself. She’d earn what she needed and no more. But the slut is a millionaire herself, and her agent (!) will try to maximize that wealth going forward. And here she is wagging her finger. Reminds me of John ‘Hide-The-Yacht-From-Taxes’ Kerry.

Lib media hacks are boiling, and I love watching them get angrier each day.

 You rock PK. Conservatives on this board are allergic to facts from non El Rushbo approved sources!

Good call across the board!

Well, then take Dem supporter James Johnson who pioneered the meltdown in the housing market while at Fannie Mae with his abettors Barney Frank and Chris Dodd, who got a “sweetheart loan, as did Barbara Boxer , from Countrywide.

t’s funny how the right never looks at why 46% of Americans didn’t pay

If only Mika could afford sleeves for those goofy dresses she always wears.  Nobody wants to see granny arms that early in the morning.

No actually it’s not documented. I’ve asked you libs repeatedly to prove it and you never have.  Just crickets.  A racist to me is the person who when they hear the term 40′s and welfare immediately pictures a black person, like you did.  Racist, they name is Val Jarrett. 

Facts:

9.2% unemployment
Record monthly deficits
Record debt
Record # of foreclosures
Record # on welfare
Record # living in poverty
US house price fall ‘beats Great Depression slide’

yeah, instead of giving it to banks and wall street!

Yes, I also love the “Bush Tax Cuts”.  What a crock, it’s Barry’s tax cuts, he kept them, you own them. Deal with it. The libs have so much crazy they keep trying to sell it. LOL

So you admit that 47% of Americans are deadbeats?

Thanks, I agree!

There are no walmarts in the tristate area.

Dow down 450 points.  Looks like all those fat lazy poor are going to take everyones 401ks down with them.  And the rich will continue to hide behind their gated communities fearing violence in the streets.

Poor creature; it can barely even reply anymore.

Corporations and organizations pay nothing as well.  100% of them do

funny, you never disputed any of her claims.  So I assume you agree.

She’s ignoring you.  She has no idea how to respond to your facts. 

Mika is just being a loyal soldier in the class wars.

Sorry! Rich are those at $250K and up and Mika is worth $4 million!

Another wealthy, successful, anonymous internet commenter!!!  Who spends his (hardworking) day commenting on political articles!  Don’t bother telling all of us what you do for a living – I’d like you to maintain some of your mystique and intrigue (“Is he an internet billionaire?!?!” “A real-estate mogul!?!?” “A hedge fund manager!?!?!” “A high-powered corporate attorney!?!?!”).

And bravo to you for calling me a “dim-witted lib.”  Although, I must admit, I kinda walked right into that one after having already identifying myself as such. 

So, basically what I’m saying is:  Can I have a job?  I can take over your Very Important Internet Commenting duties so you’ll have time to, you know, do more actual work, make gobs of more money, and trickle some more of it down to us “dim-witts.”  As you can already tell, I’m fairly good at the whole “sassy/snarky internets commenting” thing.  I can even post/pose as a conservative for you (or Resident_Conservative, as the case may be).  How’s this:  Obami is ruining this One Great Nation (do you like the capitalization thing?  very popular with Rich Hard Working Republicans).  Or:  The DemoRats and their ilk are socialist/Marxist pigs, stealing from hardworking [internet billionaires/real-estate moguls/etc.] such as myself!  I can even step into the character of a conspiracy-crazed right-wing talk show Republican Zombie, if should should so require.  If this is the role you need me to play, I will require an additional fee, as I’ll have to whip out some of my creative writing skills (learned at a Liberal Indoctrination Camp – ie, college – no doubt). 

Thanks so much for your time and consideration R_S.  I’ve attached me resume and professional references for your review.  Please do not hesitate to contact me for more information or to schedule an interview. 

Regards,

Mark

One word Ms. Bachmann: hamhock. You avoid that word like the plague cause it DESTROYS your half baked argument. On the other hand there’s nobody here who like screaming racist more than you. In fact you do it at least once pr day. We all know. We’ve all seen it. Must suck to want to be POTUS so bad when you’re destined to lose cause of your total and abject stupidity. 

However it is fun for m to watch!

Don’t forget the extra $10,000 to get a picture with him. 

So your in better shape than she is? Maybe you can take a picture of your great body and post a link. We’ll judge if you got the six-pack abs.

It should have be an extra $10k to NOT get a picture with him.

And yet here you are AGAIN!

TOO FUNNY!

Sorry, I  have a lot of free time but not enough to read your pathetic, pretentious lib TPs.

Hello all! I’m a first time poster and new to this debate. There seems like theres a lot of passion around this issue. I just had a couple of quick questions:

1. Has cutting taxes for the wealthiest ever reduced deficits?

2. How does everyone here feel about the wealthy getting tax cuts during the Iraq/Afghanistan war? Was that one of our better moves? Did it make sense to cut anyones taxes when we knew we were in a war?

3. Why can’t tax rates be adjusted to reflect more eveness as a percentage of income? It doesn’t seem like it makes sense that secretaries pay more in taxes as  percentage of income than CEO’s. I’ve heard the argument that the wealthy give dollar for dollar more than those secretaries/teachers/firemen. Is the argument that since a fireman might pay $7,000 in taxes, then Bill Gates should pay $7,000 in taxes also to be fair? I guess my real question is: What does the wealthy think would be a fair tax rate to pay and still have the country run efficiently?

I understand its a complicated issue, but I’m sure everyone on all sides of this debate realizes that we have a ridiculous tax code.

I’m bracing myself for your responses…Please be kind.

Like I said conservatives love their talking points!!!

LOL! 

“It’s a woman buying a 1,500 dollar pair of shoes.”
Oh, was the article about Michelle Obama? 

Violence in the streets? From who…spoiled white middle class punks like you? LOL.

two points, and I know I will get flamed for this but bring it because I can dismantle any argument you have. 

Read Charles Dickens and study Europe in the late 1800′s.  We are a long way from there, but we are headed in that direction. 

Remember all this “wealth” is not liquid.  Most people of the higher percentage have a portfolio of stocks, bonds, dividends, and options.  Most of those are wrapped up in hedge funds and credit lines.  Much like it was 1929, 1987, and 2008.  The bubble will pop just like it did then, and these people will cry to government and get their “welfare.”

Anyone who claims to be a Christian and is arguing FOR rich people needs to re-read his gospels.  Actually, he wouldn’t be arguing for anything.  He would be helping the poor and not paying much attention to this “debate.”

Mika Brzezinski is an embarrassment.

So you do identify  with “40″s and “hamhocks?”

Not a surprise!

How is the word hamhock racist?  When I hear it, I think of the beans and hamhocks my mom used to make.  You libs can turn ANY word into something racist.  It’s a gift you have.  Give it up, the race card has been completely maxed out and rendered useles.

Nice lie?

Have any more?

Haha, boom winning!

See that’s how conservatives think-one of you says something utterly stupid and three more of you chime in!!!!

We’ve all seen this movie before!!!

3,200,000 people from that citadel of left wing stupidity, California, are on food stamps. Why don’t you write an angry letter to that San Fran dipshit Nancy Pelosi and ask her why she didn’t focus on job creation instead of Obamacare?

That would be the Baboon Beck paying $20K for rent in TX while he is still in NY.

Of course, it all makes sense considering his trip to the Holy Land to save the world.

Uh the brain trust of utter stupidity has arrived!!!!

Do you always announce yourself that way?

“How is the word hamhock racist?  When I hear it, I think of the beans
and hamhocks my mom used to make.”

And did you wash it down with a nice cold 40? I see the real problem here-you and your mom are raging alcoholics. I see why this topic offends you so much.

Explains much about you and your family dynamic. Do your kids a favor and run away from home.

We can ALWAYS tell when libs are losing when they call other people racists.

You are truly a massive racist.

Do you think Barry should carry a gun in his pants and be “a gangster” president like Bill Maher suggests?

Do you think contrary to what Dan Rather says that Barry could in fact sell watermelons?

Do you believe as Harry Reid does that Barry doesn’t have to sound like a Negro if he doesn’t want to?

Do you think as Bill Clinton  that Barry should have been bringing Clinton  coffee  years ago?

Do you agree that Barry should have had his “nuts cut off” as Jesse Jackson said?

Do ya think Mika has “40s” abs?

LOL

Why invoke Christian thought?  Liberals HATE Christians.

 Just when I think it might attract your attention baby!

Make that close to 500 down!

bawawawa

I sure am; and I’m older than she.

So you agree it IS true.

Thanks!

Don’t know! What percentage of fat do you carry on your body? I do know she’s an avid long distance runner.

Down over 500 points.

RC, don’t forget when Biden said that Obama is the first clean, articulate, black candidate. 

Have anything to back this claim up?

Exactly, we Mormons don’t drink alcohol.  Nice try though.

Didn’t mean to upset you darlin, I’ll try to keep it civil, just like you. Hey, I see we have win and loss columns according to you Val. Problem is, you’re keeping score. I hear the only way you can keep score when you’re not on blogs denigrating retarded kids was by putting notches in your thighs. You’re winning in your mind, so stick with it,most people here know the real score.

Prove it! Take a picture of yourself and posted to a link.

I guarantee you, your not in better shape than she is. You may not like her politics, but, questioning her physique is crazy.

Actually, you are assuming she’s middle class, but based on her comments, I’d say low class is more accurate.

That’s only with you, booboo. Everyone likes shitting on you.

Spoken like a whiny lib jealous of someone else’s success. 

Spoiled middle class punk?  Do you have anything to back up that claim?

Good! I mean after all, according to you libs, only the rich are in the markets and dog gone it, this will help in your fight against those horrible rich people!

Sorry, you’ll have to “satisfy” yourself to someone else’s picture; may I suggest your hero Anthony Wiener?

I hope your portfolio is losing a ton of value.

Ms. Jarrett, any comment on sara’s ACCURATE comment regarding Michelle’s very expensive wardrobe?

Yeah, I’m annoyed by people who talk about themselves in the 3rd person.

Is that her only car?

I only made a statement, Val took it to be racist. So, why would you assume I agree? you a racist too.

Yep.  I read the newspapers and watch the news.

Ok lets look at your points

1. Not Republicans, Corporations.  There is a difference.
2. No they don’t.  Innovation and demands do.  A rich person by him/herself does not create jobs, if he/she invests in a operation to create a good or service that has a demand, then yes.  Once that demand dries up, then no.  The rich can also demand that those jobs be sent overseas using unskilled, cheap, and sometimes slave labor to make a bigger profit.  Hell there is a tax break fro companies who do that.
3. Yes and no, Bush left office with a net loss of jobs, double unemployment, an unbalanced budget and triple (if you count the wars that werent on the books til 2009) the deficit.  So a lot of it hwas his fault.  But the economic policies (deregulation of banks and wall street, NAFTA, trade deals with China and Korea) started under Clinton.
4.  Republicans want the same spending and deficits, just for defense, bailing out banks and wall street, rebuilding countries we just blew up, tax cuts for the rich, and tax cuts for those sending jobs overseas.  At least this is what happened under the last four republican presidents.  Also Cheney said deficits be damned.

How Christ-like of you.

How Christ-like of you.

and your evidence?

Do you have any links to show that liberals hate Christians?

FRAUD.

We always talk about rich versus poor but where do all these “poor” kids get the money to buy Ipods, Ipads and all these other fancy telephones and gadgets?  What about all the “poor” people shopping at Costco and BJ’s with their food stamp credit cards?

I don’t carry any fat, but Mika has quite a bunch on her shoulders.

quite possibly.

apparently so do a lot of conservatives too.

Sorry bigot! Barry, the VP and SOS are also Christians as are   Reid and Pelosi!

LOL

Hang on, she’s posting your question on media matters right now, she’ll be back with a reply shortly. Geez, don’t be impatient.

FACTS, WE DON’T NEED NO STINKIN FACTS!!

What have you done, personally, to help the plight of the poor?  I keep asking but you never answer.  Why is that?

Why do you hate poor people!!!  Haha, just kidding, but that’s what you’re in for. 

“Why invoke Christian thought? Liberals HATE Christians. ”

progressive_Kitty:

“Have anything to back this claim up? ”

yes, YOU!

If anyone who is shameless its Mika. Besides wearing 1500 dollar shoes, I bet you that dress she wearing costs at least 750 bucks, if not more. You are a hypocrite Mika!

what facts do you require? I will share them

You clearly belong to the Third Estate and the rest of the lib hoi polloi!

If she paid $750 for that dress, she overpaid.

No Darlaloon, it means “share the wealth, you know those rich people got rich on the backs of the poor”. Come on hon, your not keeping up.

It doesn’t even have sleeves.

i actually agree with you on that. he did extend them

Yes. The liberals’ link to the country’s abortion mill, i.e., Planned Parenthood.

Oh please, you can’t go on whaling about ‘the rich’ buying 1500 dollar shoes and wear them yourself.

it just kinda shows you who runs this place right?

Show in detail please how in your estimation I hate Christians.  I certainly love the Christ-minded.  I certainly love Jesus’ teachings.  I believe in them and live a life that reflects this for the most part.  If you have anything to disprove my claims please show them.

Is that what that lump of smoldering stupidity is?

Uh,  this is weird.  I heard of people having doppelgangers but this is weird.

Welcome to the fold young padwan, you will make it here.

Blurry vision?

I sure hope Mika tells us all what we can and can’t eat tomorrow.

I’ll wait. :)

WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House says
President Barack Obama will speak later this month at the unveiling of
the new Martin Luther King Jr. memorial in Washington.http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_OBAMA_MLK_MEMORIAL?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2011-08-04-14-06-07LOL, the memorial was made in China. Of course Mediaite will run story any day now, like they did about the Republican candidates and their campaign T-shirts.

I think you will agree that your response really wasn’t worth the time , now, was it?

I don’t hate Christianity, I do find Christians to be a problem though.  They like to pick and choose which facets they wish to believe. 

Don’t have to- just read the  pathetic abominations that you pass off as comments, you racist, bigoted lib!

You mean keeping the economy going? By the way, consumer spending is way down compared to previous years.  Most of the profits from ipads come from overseas.  Like China. 

Also you can get a BJ with food stamps?  I must be shopping the wrong places.

agreed, but those $1500 shoes you see her in? Those are given to her. Its called marketing.

You too, bigot!

Maybe TJ Maxx?

I can’t believe you have the nerve to post here anymore. No thumbs down has made you feel better about lying all the time, I guess.

Here’s a little chart to confirm your stinkin facts, blow. Net job loss for Bush, double digit unemployment. Come on, you make this too easy.

wow TJ Maxx sells $1500 shoes?

oh pleaseee, Ford pick-ups are pretty nice, and this is her only vihicle? But here we go again class warfare, just imagine what they would be saying if Bush was in office or any republican, they would be ripping him so bad, the press and media would be blaming the economy mess all on Bush, but poor obama, this is not his fault, everyone talks about how bad it is but the lib newscast ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC PBS its not obamas fault, hes blameless, sorry people this is happening on his watch, no more Bush’s fault, where are all the jobs obama said we would have, he is a failure, worthless, get him out. Talk about this mika and rino joe. joe sounds like a democrat most of the time, and by the wat who watches their show, maybe a couple of hundred, their ratings says it all even though they act like their a number 1 show, pathetic.

And Rupert Murdoch’s newspapers never pry into people’s personal lives?

I retort

http://blogs.wsj.com/economics/2009/01/09/bush-on-jobs-the-worst-track-record-on-record/

Thats from a liberal publication right?

BJ’s and Costco both accept food stamps cards.

Obviously, Val’s a big city lib, not one of those podunk libs. he never lived in the south and ate souther cooking, including hamhocks and and beans and sun tea. Nevermind Val, this is too trivial for your uber brain.

BINGO

Welcome back, Jimmy! I bet Jimmy  is so glad to read this.Maybe now he will not be the worst president ever!

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (MarketWatch) — The stock market is poised today to do something it has not done in over 33 years: Decline for nine straight sessions.

The last time the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA -4.31%   did that, in fact, was Feb. 22, 1978, when Jimmy Carter was president and the country was struggling to come to grips with a period of anemic economic growth and high inflation. “

yes I know, you missed the joke which is funnier than the joke I made.

and it is wailing, not whaling. I know it is a typo but the image of Mika with a harpoon is kinda funny.

(Huff Po)
— President Obama raised more than $3.6 million on the eve of his 50th
birthday Wednesday night, at three birthday party-themed events in
Chicago. Back in Washington, two private birthday parties, not
fundraisers, are scheduled for him at the White House on Thursday, his
actual birthday.

Clearly, times are tough for Obama’s friends. 

Nope! Just the facts! You can now put down your official Mika drool cup!

You would have to disprove it Kitty. Make a copy of your drivers license and your highest credit line credit card, front and back, and post it here. That way you can show that you are VERY middle class. Come on Kitty, show him.

Mika Brzezinski On Rich And Poor Disparity: Wealthy Are ‘Living Shamelessly’

Like King Obama and Moochy . Parties . Golf . Shrimp . French Fries . Ice Cream . Vacations !

Tapper did a nice job today:
http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2011/08/whats-the-president-doing-today-to-help-create-jobs-todays-qs-for-os-wh-842011-.html

If you can read, it says us bureau of statistics, 9.2 million net jobs gained during bush’s presidency, vs. 1.5 million saves for the messiah. We just heard Bush also saved another 5 million, but he didn’t want to brag. Just pointing out one of your numerous errors, didn’t want to pile on.

What happened Res, they flag that comment, I was dying here laughing.

that not what my fact says and that comes from Murdoch owned News Paper. If we get specific, it says (at best) 3 million jobs and those were government jobs with the TSA and Homeland security. Yours is just some graphic you did a google search for. It also shows the steep drop in employment from 2004-2008.

Who did you hear this from? Bush not a braggart? That explains his flight suit and mission accomplished banner.

prove it pos

Let’s see, Beck makes approximately 32 million dollars per year. That would be about  87K per  day. The guy whose house he’s renting probably hasn’t paid the mortgage in two years. So that 20 K, which is less than 1/4 of a days pay for Glenn, is probably going to go to a nice vacation for the homeowner, which means he’ll be stimulating the economy. where’s the problem here, cow man.

Cause your new, we’ll be nice. First off, I’m a righty. But I think there is alot of confusion amongst progressives regarding taxes. Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I think most conservatives want to first, get the budget under control on the spending. We’ve got to quit spending, and we then have to cut government waste. Once these starting points get underway, I think we all would like to see some sort of tax reform to make it fair for all. Help the poor, protect the middle class, and get rid of alot of bullshit lobbyist produced tax dodges that will piss off alot of rich people, but I think they would be more amenable to paying more of their income if they all felt that the waste and fraud were gone. Kapiche. So, it’s settled, you can all go home now.

Don’t be ridiculous, Michelle doesn’t buy $1500 dollar shoes. People give her $1500 dollar shoes. The queen’s alive, long live the queen.

dun de dah,dun de dah, here cometh the brain trust, all bow down to Val.

Tax Rates For Millionaires Have Fallen 25 Percent Since 1995
http://thinkprogress.org/economy/2011/08/04/287913/tax-rates-millionaires25-percent-since-1995/

“Millionaires paid an average tax rate of 22.4 percent in 2009, down by a quarter since 1995, when they paid an average of 30.4 percent,” Hanlon noted.

“Millionaires paid an average tax rate of 22.4 percent in 2009, down by a quarter since 1995, when they paid an average of 30.4 percent,” Hanlon noted.

Don’t forget the millions of dollars made off of being on the board at Fannie (or was it Freddie?) that huge DEMS Jamie Gorelick and Rahm Emmanuel made.

And, don’t forget how Maxine Waters did her very best Sheila Jackson Lee impression when she started screaming “racism” over any questioning of the actions of James Johnson. 

I’m sick and tired of the Dems getting away with corrupt practices and damage to our economy and the media looks the other way, or, in Obama’s case, actively covers things up.

the bottom 50% can’t really afford to be paying taxes because they only earn at the subsistence level. So they get tax deducted. It doesn’t mean they’re living high on the hog.

So a New York woman was seen buying $1500 shoes. Did they stop her to ask her if she voted Dem or Repub? I bet she was a Dem.

Of course none of it matters because what the woman was doing was BUYING SHOES. Which meant the person who sold them to her was going to get paid. And part of that pay check was going to go to taxes. the rest was going to allow that person to buy food clothing shelter and entertainment of their own. imagine that.

Brzezinski is ‘ Living Brainlessly ‘, so take it from where it comes, but wash your hands afterwards..as you never know where it’s been.

Do you even have an inkling who suffers when the rich give more to the government and stop buying expensive stuff? Have you ever heard if luxury taxes and windfall taxes having to be repealed cause the people who MADE the stuff lost their jobs? Also,don’t you get that today’s rich were poor yesterday? That’s what the progs want to kill : upward mobility,which is the enemy of dependence .

Always amusing when guillt-ridden rich people slam other rich people. Mika, who are you to determine what is shameless spending and what isn’t?

good for her, but her lifestyle is certainly not spartan.

omg – your “thank you” bull shit is beyond stupid, most kids give that up in grade 6.  Stay on topic or keep quiet because you have nothing.  
You made a stupid statement and attached “on the record” and think you’ve accomplished some “who done it”
I believe Obama thinks the world is his oyster – you not so much.  

It might be more fun to watch if we could figure out what the hell language you type in because it sure isn’t english.  

Oops. That should read “guilt”.

No he doesn’t lose – you do.  You stated that Trig was not Sarah’s child you moron.  You’re one of those absolute freaks who smear and slime.  You were told by the lefties to shut the hell up.  They didn’t want anything to do with you.  

omg

 the “poor” keep it all, they don’t pay taxes!
The rich pay so the poor can keep it all.  
Otherwise this Country would be running on hot air (oh shit – it is)

lol – another brilliant statement

I would curb my tongue on your malicious statements against fellow posters if I were you.
You’ve proven that you’ve got nothing to counter with except slime.

Enough of the personal attacks.  You’ve called me a coward and a liar and couldn’t back up either statement.  What would that make you?  

We are all sick of the filth you post – so just stop and start acting like an adult.  

what is your point?  You’ve posted the same tripe twice now.  

Paulson makes more than the President.  So what?

You lost me on your example – $7,000? lol  What are you talking about?

Yesterday you were “foul mouthed frank”, today you’re attempting to be “virgin Mary”.  What gives?
Got a bad case of conscience?

Since when has the debate ever been about Rich vs Poor…  that is a Democratic talking point and how the Democrats would care to frame the debate, but it is far from the debate that conservatives are having with the left.

Funny….total revenues collected from the top taxpayers during that time actually went up..Imagine that!

Doesn’t it just burn your butt that Breitbart didn’t lie, hasn’t lied, been proven to be right? lol

that’s all you’ve got – insults.  Not one fact based rebuttal.  Kind of sad really; feel sorry for your inability to engage in a conversation.  

We respond because we like to swat gnats – it’s entertaining.  

Taking us off topic … again. If you have nothing meaningful to contribute — and your comment shows that you don’t — then just don’t say anything.

I wish it were so simple…  there are a lot of complicating factors when discussing the tax code..  but in general people like Gates and Buffett take their earnings in stock gains which are treated as capital gains and not income.. there are ways to address these issues but you first need a government to be willing to work for the country and not special interest…  it is note worthy to acknowledge there are ligitimate reasons for taxing gains at lower rates as gains taxes do have a very real effect on our economy,  but the short term gain situation does need to be addressed as the Wall Street tycoons are making a mockery of our tax system.  Dividends to corporate stockholders are taxed similarly to gains as the corporations in which they hold stock have already paid corporate taxes of 35%  on the businesses earnings,the dividends are then taxed at a15% rate so it can be said that they were in reality taxed at 50%  To tax those dividends at the full personal rates would be a gross form of double taxation. 

Your example of $7000 is not a good one, when Buffet made that statement, it came after he learned that while he was taxed at something like 14% effective rate which probably reflected a 15% capital gains/dividend rate with some adjustments…  and the secretary was taxed at something like 23% effective rate and he felt that it was unfair,  most, myself included would agree with him.  There are a couple of things that should be noteworthy though, Buffett has years that he earns in excess of a $1 billion dollars so that 14% could reflect taxes of more than $140 million…  even so he should be taxed at a higher rate…  When the president talks of raising the marginal rates he is not talking about the rates on gains necessarily, he is talking about the marginal income tax rates which are completely different and already at 35% on earnings above about $373,000.

Thanks, news_junkie, for demonstrating the death of common sense. If you
can’t see that a $9,000 tweed coat is an example of shameless spending,
you really have lost your marbles.

And BTW, the point Brzezinski was making wasn’t that these people aren’t
allowed to spend their money, it’s that they have no right to cry that
they need a friggin’ tax break.

Wow…  my thoughts exactly…  Heavy on reform something very simple, fair in the end, and something that cannot be manipulated by special interest, Once the government can prove that it will stop it’s waste, and stop using tax dollars to purchase votes, I think that many on the right would be willing to address taxes, as in paying down debt and working on renewing our infrastructure.   I read that the Tax code has expanded to over 71,000 pages and that nobody really understands them anymore, I defy anyone to find an exact count of the pages in the Tax Code…  there doesn’t seem to be an official count.

another well researched post. lol

why dont they have that right? they are americans,and i dont hear alot of crying

  Mika is a dizzy twit…if her last name was something other then Brzezinski she’d being working the midnight shift at a Circle K.

these rich have no compassion for the poor. Did you hear about the woman who wore $500 sneakers to the soup kitchen and went on vacation in Spain in a $40,000 per night hotel? Her husband through a party for his birthday where guests paid $38,000 to come for dinner. Disgusting how these rich republicans act. Oh, wait a minute…

But they do., in cigarette taxes, liquor taxes… while still recieving the same rights and services as the ones PAYING for their cigarettes and liquor and drugs.

Sure that’s what dems think

Maybe if they minded their own effing business they wouldn’t be so easily offended but we know for dems that would be impossible.

You can take your “terrorist” comment and shove it right up your ass.

Just so you know, all the publicity shots show Mika wearing the red souled Christian Louboutin shoes.. Those babies will set you back $600-$700 . Someone should tell Mika she is wearing two weeks of food for a family of four on her feet.. I’m sure she has more than 2 pairs in the tiny closet of her tiny apartment.
She means well, but she is an adorable hypocrite.

This is rich.  All anyone has to do is google “Mika Brzezinski   salary.”  When you do you will find a page full of hits about Brzezinski complaining about how Scarborough got paid a lot more than her and, damn it, she was going to raise hell until she got the same amount.  Now, after securing her hefty contract she’s got the nerve to play class warrior.  These people have no shame at all.

 Regardless of how rich this women is or isn’t,there is a fundamental question here. The gap between rich and poor is growing and continues to grow. There is a limit here. I do not know what that is but every society that trends towards this way in history has had a revolt in some form or another. Its interesting as te tea party revolts against the govt in its own way. Expect a similar revolt from the poor soon if this trend continues and it wont be pretty. I am not being partisan on this issue. It is a real concern and in the long run is what could cause major problems of civil unrest in the future.

I admit when I was wrong.  But they do pay a lot less than any individual.

yes because only poor people smoke and drink.

Um.  We monitor different types of consumer spending as indicators for the health of our economy.  This finding, coupled with the recent report of stagnant overall consumer spending, is indicative of our massive income disparity.  The lower end doesn’t have enough money to pay for basics and the higher end has so much money, they’re blowing faster than ever.

I don’t think the rich are living ‘shamelessly’.  That would imply that they actually had an idea of how bad it is for so many people.  I think the rich are largely ignorant of the economic suffering.  Evidence of this can be found in Dana Perino’s recent statement insisting that if you can purchase a $5 dollar coffee drink, you can pay for birth control.  What she does not seem to recognize is that there are millions of people in our country that cannot afford that frappuccino.

Just as rich people are free to spend money as they wish, Mika is free to admonish them for behavior she finds tacky.

and again i ask, what business is it what rich people do with their money? there’s a reason why they have the money they do. there smarter with it. there harder working. there more motivated to succeed. if people with less money want to have more money then they need to do the same things rich people do to get there money. the only thing thats preventing the poor from having more is themselves. they are there own worst enemy because they do stupid things with there money. i am by no means rich (in the sense of having tons of money) but that’s because of me and nobody else. nobody ever got rich just by whining and complaining and resenting the rich. one other thing, nobody is ever going to get rich by listening to Obama either.

your absolutely correct BB, and he is being rightly investigated for it.

“and again i ask, what business is it what rich people do with their money?”

And again I state, it’s an economic indicator.  We aren’t looking into each individual purpose, so I don’t think your ‘privacy’ argument makes much sense. 

And regarding your comment about the poor, what a horribly ignorant, insensitive and incorrect thing to say.  I grew up pretty much smack dab on the poverty line and my dad is the hardest working individual I know, having kept three jobs at a time in order to keep a roof over my head.  So, you can really take your attitude about the poor and shove it, as far as I’m concerned. 

Do you really think salary is a good indicator of competence?  I would figure the fact that the assholes whose incompetence destroyed our economy in the first place making thousands of times more than an average american family would serve as a pretty good indicator that that concept is BS.

It must really get your goat that you can’t mechanically ‘thumbs down’ every post made by a person you consider a ‘lib’ anymore.

“Of course, tacky, boorish and divisive pretty much describes today’s T-Partee Terrorists”

That is a great description of what you have described. Which is why you will not find said attributes in the actual Tea Party. We don’t condone the actions of the “T-Partee Terrorists”, otherwise known as the racism perpetuation arm of the Democrat party, founded after the dems lost the support of their original enforcers, The KKK.

Correct. Now, I would agree that Murdoch’s SCANDAL RAG TABLOIDS may pry into personal lives, but how is that a surprise anyway? I wasn’t surprised at all by the cell phone hacking business, I thought we’d agreed by now that was a given with the foreign paparazzi-class. If they’re willing to chase the Princess of Wales until they crash and die, or stalk celebrity children to school, if they are willing to go to extreme lengths including putting lives in jeopardy, what makes you think they’d think twice about hacking your cell phone?

Envy is an ugly thing, Mika; doesn’t look very good on you.  And promoting it just appears petty.

“Do you really think salary is a good indicator of competence?”

Seeing as we have no other commonly accepted benchmark of success in our society, at all, then yes, I would have to agree that it is.

Corps pay less than individuals. But corps also pay higher corp taxes than any other country charges. So logically, both our individuals and our corps pay higher taxes than most of the world.

Perhaps we need to be more internationally sensitive and lower our taxes to be in line?

All the more reason to chuck the entire tax code and replace it with:
Line 1: List the income from your W-2
Line 2: Multiply line 1 by 10%
Line 3: List answer from line 2
Line 4: Take answer from line 3, pay this amount federal tax and return this form.

For EVERY citizen, for every income. A fair and impartial tax which eliminates hundreds of thousands of draconian laws, would eliminate the waste of thousands of IRS bureaucrats, and both better fund our government and not punish anyone unduly.

The fact that in 2010 I paid in $50 in federal withholding and received a refund of $1500 just for being a student almost made me sick. I don’t deserve a free ride, tax free, and neither does anyone else.

Higher taxes than in China? You sure about that? How about all of Europe? Tax rates won’t bring jobs back. Cheap and/or slave labor is what keeps the jobs away.

And no, I am pulling for an old fashioned trade war.

Why r u Gop supporters so hateful? U hate on everything. This country deserves better than teabag hate. Obama will win again just on your own behavior.

First of all, it’s hard to take ANY of this article seriously since it involves the crew of “Morning Joe”, who take levels of outright HYPOCRISY and a talent for spewing BULLSH*T to all-new levels each and every day.

For example, take Mike Barnicle. This is a guy who has not only made a VERY pretty penny from his reporting and writing work…which is THEN coupled with a freaking TV salary for appearing on “Morning Joe” or other MSNBC shows…which is THEN added to other public or speaking appearances he makes BECAUSE he’s become a media figure due to his appearing on the show…

..But in the BIGGEST CROCK OF ALL, this is the SAME moron who — if you watch the show regularly — whenever they talk about money ALWAYS starts sentences with the laughable disclaimer: “Well, before I say anything, I should note that my wife is a big wig exec with Bank of America.”

Bottom line: the buffoon and his wife are NOT hurting for money.
Yet he continually loves to play himself up as a blue collar schlub — which HE IS NOT.

Which, of course, makes it all the more HYSTERICAL that lard ass himself makes this observation…

donating “billions” to a fund trying to improve the lives of poorer New
Yorkers. “The disparity,” he noted, “between rich and poor in this city
is enormous.”

HIS EXAMPLE OF CHARITY IS MIKE BLOOMBERG ????
ARE YOU JUST F***ING KIDDING ME ????????????????????????

Amazing!  His brilliant example of charity is a guy who did EXACTLY what all the Wall Streeters — you know, those evil guys that these morons are now criticizing — did to make HIS money. And while people on Wall Street might be working as brokers or agents or execs….making thousand or hundreds of thousand or even millions in return….

…Barnicle’s BRILLIANT comparison is a guy who used the system to acquire BILLIONS.

And Barnicle’s BRILLIANT example of “charity” is a guy who then BOUGHT the mayor’s office in the last election, by spending an UNGODLY amount of money. In fact, the LARGEST AMOUNT IN HISTORY.

But hey!  Making BILLIONS off the system and then BUYING the mayor’s office is a GOOD thing when you desperately need to make a point. What point these clods were making is beyond me, but hey — at least they filled their air time spouting more BULLSH*T.

arent some of those “assholes” part of obamas team?

 oh wait those were just the guys that couldn’t pay their taxes.

Libs keep bringing up GE….why?  Jeffrey Robert “Jeff” Immelt anyone?
