Obama, in Ghana:

No business wants to invest in a place where the government skims 20 percent off the top

… Because they’d rather invest in America, where the government skims 40 percent off the top? In other news, Obama’s approval rating is just about down to GWB’s at the same point in his first term.

    what a shock. We elected a douchebag for a President. It speaks volumes about the mentality of the voters in this country. Bush? He was a disaster. But I knew that Obama was an empty suit and not the answer to our problems.

    Exactly. We as citizens DO NOT get anywhere near the value that the average 40% of our income we’re forced to pay as taxes, gets us. How about for a bumper sticker:

    Govt takes 5 months of your income in overall taxation. If you don’t get your money’s worth, vote Libertarian.
