Not to be outdone by another in the Tribune’s long parade of Mesa teapublicans, I too have created a modified document, as did Bruce Jacobs, called the Declaration of Subjugation.
We hold these truths to be self evident, that rich men (not women) are created more equal than others. That they are endowed by their bankers with certain inalienable entitlements, that among these are perpetual profits, eternal corporate welfare, and tax free subsidies. That to secure these perks, governments are purchased among men, deriving their powers from the ability to bribe and outspend. That whenever any form of government becomes unwilling to protect their status, it is the right of the corporations to invoke Citizens United and select their own politicians, laying the foundation of plutocracy and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their perpetual and ever increasing income disparity.”

Does this mean that we can "NOT" count on your vote, this November, for Republican Presidential Candidate, Mitt Romney ???

Mitt Romney??? Is he the guy that evades U.S. taxes with offshore banking??? Is he the guy whose campaign is primarily funded by hedge fund billionaires, a gambling casino mogul and one of the Koch brothers???

Mitt Romney -- yeah that's the guy who says he will release more of his taxes as soon as " they are prepared ".
You know, those tax forms that his accountants created and filed over the last few years.
What sort of " preparation " do already filed forms need?
Oh ... a little whitewash here ... a little deletion there ... nothing major ... oh no ... just some " preparation ".
Only tax forms released by the IRS should be considered. Nothing released by ANY candidates campaign can be trusted.
Mitt Romney ... the same guy who was CEO, majority stockholder etc. etc of Bain Capital. The paperwork shows he held every executive position at the same time. Bain Capital WAS Mitt Romeny. But he claims he was not in control of the company when he went to work for the U.S. Olympics.
Who was?

Nice job, Ron. Nice job!
Looks like Obama may have just pulled away form the Mittster. Pew has him up by 7 points, 50 to 43.

weak effort.
No mention of the billions Unions spend to 'select' their politicians? You know, the ones with sweet pensions that have bankrupted cities in CA and driven American companies offshore?
