| Message | Trickle down economics. hah! u think that worked. In real life: It did not for ronald reagan; only the interventionist actions by the Federal Reserve Chairman at the time-who was appointed by Jimmy Carter- saved the US economy back then. Did it work in the 21st century real-life? No, george bush's tax cuts, combined with his two illegal wars, caused a global recession, and only now, with Barack Obama's stimulus package money, is the economy actually ADDING jobs! If we left it up to big business, then they would take care of their own interests; giving them an even higher standard of living, while taking more and more from the poor. Trickle-down economics. Wow. That's low. I thought that by now you, the tea party, would realise that the Worker's Party doesnt like the heavily divided class system that exists in real-life america. |

| Message | Ya only government jobs he is adding look at Greece and the rest of Europe they are sick and tiered of there government spending for a socialist utopia that is not possible and how come Obama now only has a 46% approval rating and the us unemployment rate is at 9.2%? |

| Message | remember the unemployment rate in the uk is 5.4%. surely that isnt bad. Anyway, the problem with Greece is 1) tax evasion; 2) the conservative government before last year's general election there. |
