Subject: Nancy Pelosi 's Ideas
Written By: lterhune on 04/06/07 at 2:31 pm
MAKE THAT COMRADE PELOSI
Here's a little heads up on a huge libeal icon:
This is what happens when your only upper education is in Liberal Arts and
you’ve never opened a book on business or economics. I know it is
California, but HOW do these people get elected? Here is an individual that
truly wants to adopt socialism.
A new leader, be very concerned, let's hope everyone reads this!!!
*It is hard to believe there are American citizens who support her
theories and can make any sense of what she spins. Take a good hard look
at what she wants. Take special note of the last paragraph.*
Nancy Pelosi
Nancy Pelosi condemned the new record highs of the stock market as
"just another example of Bush policies helping the rich get richer".
"First Bush cut taxes for the rich and the economy has rebounded with
new record low unemployment rates, which only means wealthy employers
are getting even wealthier at the expense of the underpaid working class".
She went on to say "Despite the billions of dollars being spent in Iraq
our economy is still strong and government tax revenues are at all time
highs. What this really means is that business is exploiting the war
effort and working Americans, just to put money in their own pockets".
When questioned about recent stock market highs she responded "Only the
rich benefit from these record highs. Working Americans, welfare
recipients, the unemployed and minorities are not sharing in these
obscene record highs". "There is no question these windfall profits and
income created by the Bush administration need to be taxed at 100% rate
and those dollars redistributed to the poor and working class".
"Profits from the stock market do not reward the hard work of our
working class who, by their hard work, are responsible for generating
these corporate profits that create stock market profits for the rich.
We in congress will need to address this issue to either tax these
profits or to control the stock market to prevent this unearned income
to flow to the rich."
When asked about the fact that over 80% of all Americans have
investments in mutual funds, retirement funds, 401K's, and the stock
market she replied "That may be true, but probably only 5% account for
90% of all these investment dollars. That's just more "trickle down"
economics claiming that if a corporation is successful that everyone
from the CEO to the floor sweeper benefit from higher wages and job
security which is ridiculous". "How much of this 'trickle down' ever
get to the unemployed and minorities in our county? None, and that's the
tragedy of these stock market highs."
"We democrats are going to address this issue after the election when we
take control of the congress. We will return to the 60% to 80% tax rates
on the rich and we will be able to take at least 30% of all current
lower Federal Income Tax tax payers off the roles and increase
government income substantially. We need to work toward the goal of
equalizing income in our country and at the same time limiting the
amount the rich can invest."
When asked how these new tax dollars would be spent, she replied "We
need to raise the standard of living of our poor, unemployed and
minorities. For example, we have an estimated 12 million illegal
immigrants in our country who need our help along with millions of
unemployed minorities. Stock market windfall profits taxes could go a
long ways to guarantee these people the standard of living they would
like to have as "Americans"."

Presented as satire it would be merely unimaginative. This sick, sad thing is that it's a bunch of bogus quotes sent around the Internets as truth, and people don't question it.
That particular load of BS had in it's layout and structure all the hallmarks of Internet rumor. I called up my research assistant, Mr. Google, typed in a few phrases, and sure enough it was, and snopes.com had debunked it. This is what I do when Saver posts goofy nonsense from the 'Net.

I read Prickly City and they've done some stuff on Nancy that is over the top. (You'd get a kick out of it!!) I can't stand Hillary Clinton, I'd rather have Richardson any day. :)

Richardson has more political experience than all (both parties) combined. He also doesn't like drama. The cartoon I'm referring to had them being chased by the "Giant head of Nancy".
It was enough to give any person nightmares. :P

right this stuff? hmm...
Anyway, it's not from "some website" - it is from their official websites, i.e., Hillary's / John's very own sites & the news letters are generated from their official sites....... anyway........
