Vote or Die?

George W. Bush’s tax cuts for the top one percent, as well as his spending nearly three trillion dollars on two wars, have combined to drive this country into financial ruin. But, let’s blame Barack Obama, the man who’s been in charge for less than two years. Of course this must all be Obama’s fault. In those two years he must have singlehandedly allowed millions of American jobs and corporate tax dollars to be shipped overseas. He must have overseen the deaths of nearly six thousand American troops, the biggest fiscal surplus in history turn into the single biggest deficit we’ve ever had as a country. Yes, after years of economic and social bliss during the 1990s, it must have been Barack Obama’s two years in office that retroactively caused three of the greatest financial recessions in the history of this country in seven years between 2001 and 2008. Don’t listen to the wackos on the right. Hell, don’t even listen to the wackos on the left. Don’t listen to anybody who works for a corporate-owned news outlet and has a financial, biased interest in the political arena. Just listen to your neighbors, listen to your co-workers (if you have a job), listen to your children and most importantly, listen to the facts. Letting Republicans take back Congress is almost guaranteeing that this financial crisis will never end.
