GOP voters out-Foxed

Two-thirds of American corporations, including GE and ExxonMobil, pay no income taxes at all, and yet Rick Perry, Herman Cain and now Mitt Romney are more concerned about the lack of income tax contributions from America’s rapidly expanding impoverished class!

This is just another reason why you would have to be a very greedy millionaire, or just politically challenged and completely out-Foxed to vote Republican these days.

In spite of all the lavish tax breaks and government giveaways to their parents, one in four children in the United States will go hungry at times next year and that, apparently, is not enough for these flat-tax GOP presidential candidates.

The Occupy Wall Streeters have got it right. It’s time for Americans with any scruples to quit writing letters and go out into the streets.
