With less than a week to go until our nation defaults - it’s looking more and more likely that IF a debt-limit deal is struck this week - it will be almost entirely on Republican terms. That means massive spending cuts targeting working and middle class families - and not one shiny penny of tax increases on corporations, millionaires, and billionaires. So now is the time that we ask the Republicans a question - a question that I guarantee they can’t answer. And that question is…”Can you name one thing - just one thing - that millionaires and billionaires will have to sacrifice in this debt-limit deal as part of a “shared sacrifice” approach?" That’s all - what will millionaires and billionaires have to give up like the rest of us?

I also didn't know he shaved his beard off. Too bad...

Keep kicking ass, Thom!!!

Ask them what they would do if they won the Lotto. After they ramble on and on about buying a nice house, and a beach house, and a cool car, no make that a limo, and taking a trip to Tahiti, wait for them to run out of shit they want to buy. Then ask them "how many people are you going to hire?" and wait for the confused look and the silence. Yeah, that's what I thought, you and all the other "job creators".

I shall ask it of republicans today !
