		<description>Once again, the Left demonstrates that it&#039;s quite alright to be racialist in one&#039;s approach, as long as one is racialist &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;in the (politically) correct manner.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;

Then they&#039;ll turn right around and genuflect in front of Martin Luther King&#039;s speech about people being judged &quot;... not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character&quot;.

But of course, we will &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;never&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt; have &quot;gone far enough&quot;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;

Utterly disgustapatin&#039;, as Popeye would say.&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;</description>

		<description>Mr Reich&#039;s wife is a law professor who filed a big lawsuit against a prominent university in Ma. The university knuckled under and paid her a king&#039;s ransom. Better to pay off the plaintiff than to risk all the negative press from the MSM accusing the university of sexism or racism or whatever ism it was. But the huge payout to the Reich/Dalton clan means that the university  loses hundreds of thousands of dollars that could go to fund scholarships for needy youngsters. Instead the money goes to make the Reich/Dalton clan quite comfortable and able to live in upper middle class splendor. And this from a champion of the proletariat?</description>

		<description>:) Reich&#039;s response just proves that MM&#039;s assertion was correct.

How can anyone take his &quot;directive&quot; out of context? What was said...was, well...said. His failure to reasonably explain &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;how&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; his words were misquoted and give an alternate understanding (that did not contradict himself) is all the proof I need that his intentions were made clear and now his true character is apparent. He is is lying.

Please do not confuse &quot;lying&quot; with the definition used by the left (i.e.Bush), but its true meaning of purposefully misrepresenting the facts.</description>

		<description>Here&#039;s what a moron called &lt;strong&gt;GotKids&lt;/strong&gt; on the MediaMatters comments page for Reich&#039;s statement said:

&lt;blockquote&gt;...the byzantine world of economic principles where conservatives will LIE THROUGH THEIR TEETH to tell the American public that cutting taxes raises tax revenue...&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Whoever that person is, they are evidently &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;retarded&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;!

If the tax rate is 0% then the tax revenue is $0 collected. However, if the tax rate is 100%, then the revenue collected is also $0 because no one will work if they don&#039;t get money out of it. And no business will remain in business if they don&#039;t get money. And no investor will invest if they don&#039;t get money out of it.

So, if you (wait for it) &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;cut taxes&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; from 100% to 50%, you will (wait for it again) collect more tax revenue! You have to because you&#039;re collecting nothing at 100%. And at anything over 50%, people will find a way not to pay.

Cutting taxes always feeds an economy. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flyingfortress.ws/oped/europeans_taxes.htm&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Read this&lt;/a&gt;. If you&#039;re liberal, don&#039;t read it. The reason, logic, and common sense in it will make your head explode.</description>

		<description>A silly, screeching twit, eagle? So much for all that bipartisanship and unity, eh, buddy?

Reich&#039;s response is utterly pathetic. His words speak for themselves, and Michelle, you, Sean, and Rush, did absolutely the right thing in calling him on it. He&#039;s really just upset that anyone was paying attention to C-SPAN when he was testifying.</description>

		<description>Um, Mr. Reich, here&#039;s Southpaws solution to the financial crisis:

1. The Banks - Instead of a $800+ billion stimulus package, buy a good shreader at Costco for around $2000. Shread all of the junk paper created by the banks and investment firms over the past ten years that is now filling up the vaults of the Federal Reserve. It&#039;s about time that everyone acknowledges that worldwide wealth is only about 1/3 of what was presumed.

2. The Economists - &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/When_Genius_Failed&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Remember Long Term Capital Management&lt;/a&gt;? It&#039;s been nearly ten years since that epic failure and we haven&#039;t learned a thing. If the politicians want the unemployed to be trained and put into the work force quickly, instead of training them as construction workers, train them as Ivory Tower Intellectualists and Economists. The economists we have now are a big failure and you obviously don&#039;t have to be very smart for that. Even a crack dealer knows more about money and economics than these so called intellectuals.

3. The Politicians - Well...the politicians...can&#039;t we just take them out into a field and beat the crap out of them? Might as well get some entertainment value for all of our money they are wasting.</description>
