"The Great Tax Con Job"
Republicans are using the T-word - taxes - to attack the Obama healthcare program. It's a strategy based in a lie.
A very small niche of America's uber-wealthy have pulled off what may well be the biggest con job in the history of our republic, and they did it in a startlingly brief 30 or so years. True, they spent over three billion dollars to make it happen, but the reward to them was in the hundreds of billions - and will continue to be.

Yep. It was always amazing to me, the Republican coalition of educated, wealthy businesspeople and conservative christians. And, it was a scam all along. -

Call them on their lies, hammer the truth home.
It is time for us to get indignant about lies, to call the liars out.
