The Democrats fuel corrupt government

Wonder why the Democratic Party symbol is a jackass? They should be renamed the Demagogic Party.

They've had no new idea since Social Security. They call the tax cut ' 'massive'' when it's only a fraction of what we've been overcharged during the past eight years. Then we hear ad nauseum the worn ''tax cuts for the wealthy''
rhetoric.

Their definition of fair is to give tax cuts to those who pay no income taxes, then demagogue the tax-cutting issue for those who actually pay most of the taxes. They can't ''afford'' to let us keep our own money. They call tax reductions ''spending.'' The ill-informed who populate this once-great country believe it.

If you purchase an expensive item, then discover you've been grossly overcharged, do you tell the merchant, ''Just keep the difference, or you can give it to your needy neighbor?'' Hardly. You want your money back.

What if he tells you he ''can't afford'' to return your money because he must buy prescription drugs for his wealthy parents so their friends will shop at his store? Would you say, ''Gee, great idea. Next time, overcharge me again and take your family on a junket to the Caribbean?'' Well, if you're a Dumbocrat you might, but most of us would contact the Better Business Bureau or the Attorney General.

The same people who go ballistic over a $ 1.50 ATM fee remain silent as they 're overcharged hundreds to thousands of dollars each year by our corrupt government.
