Obama Asks the Rich to Pay Their Fair Share.

In an appeal to Congress today President Obama asked that his plan to stimulate the US economy be adopted and that his plans to tax richer Americans should not be watered down. Republican politicians, responding to this appeal with their usual patriotism, immediately went into sackcloth and ashes mode. tearing the skin from their cheeks in distress. "This will be the end for the United States," Bubba Richoilman, Senator for Texas, warned. "When people like me, self made men who started out in life with nothing but a vast fortune, are taxed, freedom is threatened across the globe. Barak Obama, as leader of the Muslim terrorist tendency in the Democratic Party, must be stopped before he taxes me to fund his campaign of terror in America. The United States has not spilled its blood defending freedom in the world to see those freedoms taxed."
