For every unmarketable green-energy product GE peddles to federal bureaucrats, there’s another bad, profitable wing of the company. On behalf of Senator Sherrod Brown, let’s help Washington’s favorite conglomerate spread those profits around!

Soak the Rich: Week 1 Progress
This week we soaked Apple and Exxon Mobil, currently the two largest corporations in the S&P 500 by market capitalization. By doubling each company’s corporate income tax burden and taking 100% of CEO compensation, we’ve taken great strides toward funding the programs Sherrod Brown and Barack Obama know we need!
Soak the Rich: Apple
Even good hipster corporations like Apple will need to pay a “fair share” determined by capitalism-hating leftists. If Apple’s executives think the highest corporate tax rate in the developed world is enough, they’re in for a rude awakening!
Soak the Rich: Exxon Mobil
If you’re looking to squeeze more dollars out of private industry fat-cats – and what Progressive isn’t! – Exxon Mobil is a perfect candidate.
Soak the Rich: Patriotic Millionaires
This won’t do. Not only would it produce too little revenue, 7.8 million households equals too many voters for Senator Brown and President Obama to alienate. That’s why a serious soaking of the rich requires serious fat-cats – like the CEOs taking home tens of millions a year and the S&P 500 corporations who employ them.

As every leftist reaction to Congressman Ryan’s plan proves, class warfare is a central component of today’s illiberal “liberalism,” and government redistribution a vital plank in the Democratic Party platform. If you’re poor, the government should decide what you deserve and see that you get it. If you’re rich, the government should decide what you need – and see that you don’t get more.
Mope and Change
Ah, that classic dance, the Victimhood Two-Step: cry over a policy you don’t like as if it were an ambush on workers/children/puppies/the elderly, and then shift the blame for whatever problem is being addressed. It’s easy, once you realize your complaints needn’t have any grounding in reality!
DNC Complain-Train Rolling Towards Ohio
Speaker Boehner suggested the Organizer-in-Chief butt out, saying, “Rather than inciting protests against those who speak honestly about the challenges we face, the President and his advisers should lead.” Think Obama and his people will take that advice?
History’s Most Powerful Whiner?
Since I disagree with basically everything the man does, there’s a lot about President Obama that I find annoying. One of the president’s worst attributes – maybe even worse than the way he views himself as God’s gift to a horribly flawed America – is the fact that he’s a giant whiny baby: “It may… Continue reading History’s Most Powerful Whiner?
In-Kind Support for Bob Etheridge
Have you watched the video of Congressman Bob Etheridge (D-NC) calmly and patiently responding to a question from a presumed conservative activist? [youtube v60oNUoHBYM] In response to an ambush question on a Washington sidewalk, an elected representative of the United States slaps the camera out of a citizen’s hand, grabs his wrist and holds it… Continue reading In-Kind Support for Bob Etheridge
