Let Them Eat ?


Fast forward to December 21,2011 and we see 'Big G-Rich and The T-Boys' having a
Marie Antoinette moment. One- hundred-sixty million Americans will get a tax boost come January 1,2012 if 'Big G-Rich and The T-Boys' have their way in American politics this Christmas.
I may be a dog but I like the brand of patriotism in the America The Beautiful
youtube video.

My smart money is on the American Spirit and the Christmas Spirit.They're tough to beat, even in a scrimmage.I mean, just check out the Christmas Spirit in the
youtube Give Love on Christmas Day video by Michael Jackson.

Would 'Big G-Rich and The T-Boys' make them eat cake and risk one-hundred-sixty
million votes ?
Hey,I really don't know! I don't vote but I do like to lick crumbs!
