Suckers
Eschaton poster Duane V:
Give a sucker a mortgage and a job and tell him he's pulled himself up by his bootstraps, he'll believe anything.
Hannity: "You want lower taxes on the rich."
Repub Sucker: "Why? I'm not rich."
Hannity: "What? Have you completely given up? YOU could be rich some day. And when that day comes the government is going to demand a cut. Why not keep that cut as small as possible? What did the government do to help YOU out."
Repub Sucker: "Say, you're right, Sean. You're a great American."
Hannity: "You're a great American. Now go out and tell your friends what we discussed. And make sure you vote for those who want your taxes low when you make your first million. OK?"
Repub Sucker: (tears in his eyes) "OK. Thank you Sean."
