Obama SOTU: Speaking to 8th Graders

By WC Windbag

Chuck Woolery on Taxing the Rich

By The Arch City Madman

There has been a lot of talk about taxing the rich and hoping that taking more money from all of them will really help us out the pickle we have found ourselves in.

Chuck Woolery has his own take on it.

Earth to Warren and Matt – All your money will not make even the slightest dent in the problem.
