“Before people started popping aspirin for pain around 1900, cannabis was America’s #1 painkiller. It was the active ingredient in over 60% of painkillers sold in the United States.” (ie, the government is getting sued for screwing over dying people on behalf of the pharmeceutical industry)

Finally, on a more serious note:

“While America obsessed about Brittany’s shaved head, Bush offered a budget that offers $32.7 billion in tax cuts to the Wal-Mart family alone, while cutting $28 billion from Medicaid.”

Yes. The Waltons will be getting $32.7 billion (that is billion as in more money than everyone you know will make in their whole lives put together in one place, and it is simply money they’ll save in taxes, a fucking pittance) in tax breaks from changes to the estate tax…boy, I sure am glad the government is so concerned about us little guys…

Fuck Britney. I’m very sorry that she is has two kids, an ex-husband and people are always trying to touch her, that really can cut down on her personal time with Firecrotch and that scrawny blonde whore, you know, personal time where she could be having her snatch photographed by strangers and posted on the interwebs, getting drunk and fucking people, or visiting rehab…you know, the things girls do these days…very sorry, but I don’t give a flying fuck. I do, however, fucking care where my fucking tax money fucking goes…and I very much do care that some rich fucks who can completely afford it because they make obscene uncomprehendible amounts of money are getting a tax break while Medicare is choked off, Social Security is drying up, and military spending is spiraling out of control. Yes…you could say I think there are things much more important than fucking Britney Spears….

“Or how about this: if the Estate Tax goes, the heirs to the Mars candy corporation — some of the world’s evilest scumbags, incidentally, routinely ripped by human rights organizations for trafficking in child labor to work cocoa farms in places like Cote D’Ivoire — if the estate tax goes, those assholes will receive about $11.7 billion in tax breaks. That’s more than three times the amount Bush wants to cut from the VA budget ($3.4 billion) over the same time period.”

So:

• Tax breaks for the rich:
  • $11.7 billion to the heirs of the Mars corporation
  • $32.7 billion to the Waltons
  • $9.7 billion to the Cox family
• Benefit cuts for people who make normal money:
  • $28 billion cut from Medicare
  • $3.4 billion cut from VA budget
  • $420 million cut from LHEAP

“Compare that to the Commodity Supplemental Food Program, which Bush proposes be completely eliminated, at a savings of $108 million over ten years. The program sent one bag of groceries per month to 480,000 seniors, mothers and newborn children.

Somehow, to me, that’s the worst one on the list. Here you have the former CEO of a company that scored record profits even as it gouged consumers, with gas prices rising more than 70 percent since January of 2001. There is a direct correlation between the avarice of oil company executives and the increased demand for federal aid for heating oil programs like LIHEAP, and yet the federal government wants to reward these same executives for raising prices on the backs of consumers.”

I know we used LHEAP a couple years, it really really helped when we needed help the most…and now we are good little tax payers and more than made up for that assistance with the 50%-odd overall tax rate we pay to the government. Christ on a crutch, shitting in a virgin’s mouth, what is wrong with these rich arrogant fucks???

I like this Matt Tabbi guy, he is full of fire and rage…good shit! That article was also posted at RollingStone.com…
