<p>In general, what she&#8217;s saying is what one of our founding fathers said long ago:</p>
<p>‎&#8221;All accumulation of personal property, beyond what a man&#8217;s own hands produce, is﻿ derived to him by living in society; and he owes on every principle of justice, of gratitude, and of civilization, a part of that accumulation back again to society from whence the whole came.&#8221;<br />

Oompa Loompa, Doompadah Dee,<br />
If you’re brainwashed you’ll listen to me.<br />
What do you get when you vote GOP?<br />
Let the debt grow, the Elephants eat free.<br />
What are you at, talking about a VAT?<br />
Who do you think will vote for that?<br />
I don’t like the look of it.<br />
Oompa Loompa doompadee dah,<br />
If you’re real greedy, you will go far.<br />
You will live in luxury, too,<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Reports have been confirmed that the Republican Party is actually attempting to create zombies, so as to take over the United States, and have even released some of these creatures on the unsuspecting populace!</p>
<p>There are already three different test cases that have been released into the populace: teabaggers, birthers and deathers.</p>
<p>In all cases, mental activity is absolutely zero, yet they keep moving around, menacing the living, going after anyone who looks like they have a brain. The teabagger test case flamed out fairly quickly, the birthers took quit a bit longer, and the deathers are still going.</p>
<p>As a fundraising effort, there&#8217;s even a new computer game coming out, an unauthorized sequel to the Left 4 Dead franchise, to be called &#8216;Jingos 4 Jesus&#8217;. I can&#8217;t wait!</p>
