European Tribune - Comments - Markets have completely failed

Markets have completely failed - a simple lesson | 94 comments (94 topical, editorial, 0 hidden)

I'm a little hopeful on this point, actually, should we win the election: Yesterday Biden said that wealthy Americans paying higher taxes was their patriotic duty.

And he got away with it! The Reps tried to make a big deal out of it, but it didn't work.

It was awesome.

Re: A simple suggestion (none / 1)

I'm just wondering why no one ever tried wrapping it in the flag before.

Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.

Re: A simple suggestion (4.00 / 2)

They have. Kerry certainly tried it. But I guess between the press's love for the Bidens and the ever-growing "McCain is a Liar" meme (and McCain, of course, lied about what Biden said immediately), it managed to get through.
