Do you know what our economy needs right now?

[sparkindarkness]

For the upper rate of tax to be cut. The tax on people earning over £150,000 a year. We really need to cut this, apparently, according to the government. And look, the Lib Dems are melting on the point

I know what we our economies need right now...

Fewer Republicans
Fewer Tea Partiers
Fewer Tories
Fewer Rich, un-taxed bastards
Fewer bankers

In comparison to me you're rich, filthy rich but so is someone earning 50k per year.

But that money the rich save in taxes will trickle down to the poor. It's been empirically proven over here in the States, doncha know?

Ugh.

Personally, I'm tired of the rich trickling down on my head. Just saying.

I really don't know how to tell you this without shocking you. I am convinced they've moved your entire nation, while you were sleeping, to the United States.

That's how we roll in the U.S., babies. We give the uberrich and corporations everything we can and we don't even get a cigarette or judicious use of lube in the bargain. It's going really, really well here...for the uberrich and the corporations.

You'd think politicians in other nations would see how things have transpired using that system and would say "Uh, no." You'd be wrong. #stupidpoliticiantricks
