I’m not even against the wealthy paying less taxes- the truly wealthy create jobs for the rest of the country (not the rich, the wealthy, read a book). But you don’t get a tax break if you’re not helping to fix the economy. You get to Suck it, that’s what you get. Obama’s not perfect but he’s a whole lot better than what we had.

And access to healthcare shouldn’t depend on luck.”

Yep, that Obamacare sucks until you actually need it to protect you.[via]

TV DONT STAY NO MIND: Because I'd feel like an asshole for NOT posting about it...
I can’t believe how quickly ten years has gone by and how much things have changed. I still remember Dad first telling me about the attacks as soon as he picked me up from school on 9/11.
Yep, our teachers were told not to tell us ANYTHING that day by school admins. They couldn’t turn on TVs or…
