Mitch McConnell Cries Over The Plight Of Those Hardest Hit By Recession: Those Making $250K

I was thinking that all the sad, dirty-looking people who now stand on street corners in my neighborhood dressed in rags and begging for change were the hardest-hit victims of the recession, but I was so, so wrong. Leave it to Mitch McConnell to point out that the people hit hardest in this are actually those small business people making $250,000 and up! (Wish I had those problems...)

Yesterday, House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) unexpectedly suggested that he could support President Obama's plan to enact permanent tax cuts for the middle class while allowing the Bush tax breaks for the wealthy to expire. Boehner's comments have prompted fierce pushback from conservatives in the House and Senate alike, who disagree with the public about giving tax cuts to the richest Americans. In a speech on the Senate floor today, Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) argued that Obama's plan would hurt "the people who've been hit hardest by this recession."

Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Kentucky, announced Monday he will introduce legislation that would ensure that no one pays higher income taxes next year.

"We can't let the people who've been hit hardest by this recession and who we need to create the jobs that will get us out of it foot the bill for the Democrats' two-year adventure in expanded government," McConnell said on the Senate floor.

1. "Read My Lips..."

oh wait, sorry...

2. Where did his lips go?

As a matter of fact, where did all his features go?
Is he Voldemort's cousin or something?
Is he the eggman?

13. Separated at hatching...

I had a picture of Cheney getting out of a black limousine with Voldemort nose and features that I was going to post... but, it has been "disappeared" from my Photobucket account.

Hmm. Odd.

3. Mitch weeps for the Predator Class

4. Try to put yourself in their shoes

Imagine that, prior to the recession, you were knocking down $400,000 per year. Then the recession comes along, and a couple of years later you're only making $265,000 per year. That's a serious decline in your ability to afford the lifestyle to which you would have become accustomed. Have some sympathy!

5. They may have to sell the vacation house and the third SUV just to get buy!

Not to say anything about forgoing that planned trip you Europe. Just think of the wasted sky miles!
Also how about losing those credit card perks while the cards remain in the desk drawer?

6. Poor things, reduced to fish eggs and goose livers......

8. Most, if not all, our congressmen/women and senators...

are millionaires with yearly incomes above the 250,000 line.

Conflict of interest? Looks like it.
