I remember when Democrats warned of going into a protracted campaign and occupation of Iraq, while forces were still in Afghanistan, and needed in Korea,
Conservatives gave us a patronizing smile, and assured us "We can walk and chew gum at the same time".

Why did the Democrats vote to authorize the conflict?

Because that wonderful president of ours gave Saddam an ultimateum.

Kinda thought that the UN gave the ultimatum. Also kinda thought that the previous adminstration coulda given an ultimatum.

at a time when unemployment for the rest of the nation is soaring?

Soaring? I draw colored lines on a fucking computer all day long, if unemployment is soaring, I guess my number's up soon.

the tax cut was not presented by the administration as "A plan to make it more fair for rich people" as it truly is,
but rather as
"an economic stimulus plan" which is bullshit.

Why don't you stop tip toeing around what you really want to say, and just say it. "Rich people deserve to pay more money than everyone else."

the right scoffed and assured us there would be oil revenues to float the bill.

Sabotage and a decade of delapidated pipelines in Iraq. It's been hard to fix their pipelines when they keep blowing them up. Remember that movie "The Super", when Kritzkey's father rationalizes why you shouldn't attempt to fix the building's infrastructure? "You fix the plumbing? They throw chicken bones in the toliet. You fix the heating? They piss in the hot air ducts!"
Well, anyway, we need to get their oil going, but of course we can't let the most qualified firm do the job, because that would look bad.

almost everyone in the nation got "something" in the cut,
even po folk who pay squat got a bone thrown to them,

my point was, that the tax plan was structured so that the biggest benefit hit the top of the pyramid,
are you too dense to understand that?

Now, just come out and say "We should be taking money from the rich people, and give it back to the poor. That way, every one is the same."
