After the mess that we've witnessed in congress, on both sides of the aisle, over the last 3 years, the DCCC is far from my favorite organization. But because I've sent them money in the past, and haven't decided to kick them out of my sphere of information, I still get e-mails from them.
Today's was quite entertaining... many of you have probably also seen it for similar reasons as I did... but for those who haven't, this is great stuff (for a change!).
Try not to burst into tears when you read this:
Tea Party Republican Congressman John Fleming would have a rough go of it under President Obama’s new plan to make millionaires pay their fair share. In fact, he told MSNBC yesterday -- and these are his words --
“by the time I feed my family, I have maybe $400,000 left over.”
That's right... Mr. Fleming is crying the blues about the possibility of increased taxes because he's only going to have nearly half a million per year left over!
The e-mail did not include any links... and I don't have time to search out the original quote or video, but would happily add it to the diary if anyone finds it.
