In other words, his thirst for more control over the economy hasn&#8217;t been slaked quite yet. That&#8217;s your money he&#8217;s talking about so cavalierly.<\/p>\n<p>And no one has answered my question about who they consider rich. When Bill Clinton promised a middleclass tax cut, he raised taxes on social security recipients.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m getting the feeling that Democrats think they&#8217;ve won this race and that they can say anything they want. They abandoned any appearance of being Americans and since the media won&#8217;t report any of their mistakes and missteps, they&#8217;re showing us their collective ass.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Barney Franks is catching whatever it is that&#8217;s afflicted Joe Biden.
