Top 10 reasons

1. President Obama hesitates far too long before giving Wall Street bankers
everything they ask for. As a man of action, I will not hesitate.
2. Although I’m not quite the reactionary, racist bigot that Sarah Palin is,
I’m enough of one.
3. In Massachusetts I stood up to the health care industry and only did 98 percent
of what they told me to do.
4. My God, someone has got to stop the unions — aside from Wall
Street, the corporate media, the cops, the courts and, if necessary, the
National Guard. I can be that someone.
5. I will cut all entitlements. But since the bank CEOs weren’t really
entitled to their multibillion-dollar bonuses in the first place, these
aren’t entitlements and shouldn’t be cut.
6. We’re fighting too many wars! Instead of waging wars against Libya, Iraq
and Afghanistan, my administration would just wage one general war against
workers and oppressed here and abroad.
7. It’s wrong when reports say that .01 percent of the population owns 40
percent of the wealth. This is a private matter and no one’s
business.
8. I think that Medicare for seniors should be replaced by a program that
recognizes that, no matter what we do, death is inevitable.
9. Taxes should be from earned income. Since the super-rich don’t actually
earn their income, it shouldn’t be taxed.
10. Jobs? The problem with unemployment is that wages are too high. I’m not
exactly saying we should go there, but there was full employment under
different forms of slavery, wasn’t there?
