All I Want For Christmas Is A Big Fat F#@$^*ing Break
Did anyone else catch the video of this pathetic display? I just wanted to shout out, "Whoa, slow down there Rep. Brainiac! We're don't all have a Ph.D. in economics!"
Rep. Jim McDermott, D-Wash., used two red Christmas stockings - one labeled rich and one marked poor - to demonstrate who benefits from the tax cuts.
From the poor stocking, McDermott transferred small presents representing benefits for the disabled and elderly, college loans for students, and money to pay for food stamps, health care and efforts to collect child support from deadbeat parents.
"Let's take food stamps away from 300,000 people. `You can't have food stamps poor people, we've got to give a tax break to the rich people,'" McDermott said. "What's left for the poor people? Look at that, a lump of coal. The poor people better save that lump of coal because there's nothing in here for their heating bills."
I suppose I could lie and say I was appalled by his Eurocentric attempt to perform a religiously themed ritual on the House floor, but I'm sure the ACLU is filing the lawsuit as I post this. Sadly, I'm sure some glue-sniffing intern came up with this stunt and will be running for the same seat in a few years.
