money grubbing scum

A phrase originally coined by David Lettereman, during the writers' strike in the late 80s. He was referring to the T.V. and movie companies that refused to accept the writers guild's offer.

Today, there are many other instances of money grubbing scum causing problems for working people. Big businesses so often putting profits before the interests of people.
A common example: A big corporation moved their factory to China, eliminating 1000s of American jobs, the money grubbing scum C.E.O. received a huge bonus.

Money grubbing scum is destroying the American dream for many working people, by eliminating good paying jobs and weakening unions.

Also, Wal-mart is one of the worst cases of money grubbing scum in the history of retail! Those heartless anti-American bastards are one of China's top 5 customers!

Wanda Sykes

A very talented and very funny stand up comic! She established herself early as bold, sassy, blunt and occasionally rude. She always has blunt, honest and funny commentary on current events and politics.
It's always a good time when Wanda Sykes is on the Tonight Show. She has a lot of good funny observations about dumbass Republicans and even playful criticism for Democrats. She also made an appearance at the 2009 Washington Correspondents' Dinner, where she made some good comments about Rush Limbaugh's stupidity.
Wanda Sykes:often controversial, always very funny!

bushnesia

Bushnesia is a mental disorder that affects memory.

Many people developed this disorder late in 2008, early 2009 and it continues to spread. Most of the people with this affliction are Republicans and bush supporters. They complain about the huge national debt and the economic disaster that hit during the Bush Administration and they blame Preisdent Obama for the bad effects of Bush's heinous deeds.
The tea party was founded by people who were upset about out of control government and the huge national debt, however due to bushnesia, they're misdirecting their anger at Obama rather than the true source of the problem: George W. Bush and pro-rich Republicans!

Corporate Jihad

An early 2010 decision by the U.S. Supreme eliminated limits on campaign donations from corporations. This decision lead to corporations declaring holy war on incumbent Democrats. Big corporations spent HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS on Republican campaigns, mostly through secret "non-profit" organizations and 527 groups. With the help of these unlimited corporate donations, the G.O.P. outspent Democrats 10 to 1. Unfortunately for America, the 2010 Election will go down in history as the nasiest and most expensive mid-term election ever (so far.)
The Corporate Jihad in 2010 lead to the Republicans gaining a controlling majority interest in Congress and an increased minority share of the Senate. The only real winner in this election was the media and advertising firms.

Toxic Political Discourse

At term to describe the sad state of politics America in the 21st century.

With the increasing influence of talk radio and so-called new commentators, there is more vitriolic argumenting and shouting than ever. People like Sarah Palin,Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Ann Coulter and Mike Savage are ranting and raving like complete idiots. These people tear down and make up lies about people they disagree with rather than offer any solutions to the problems we face.

This toxic political atmosphere is making political campaigns longer, meaner, dirtier and more expensive every year.
Toxic political discourse is creating a lot of tension, flustration and violence, but few solutions. We need to tone down the hostility in Washington, on the radio and on cable TV, before we destroy ourselves.

M&M Party

M&M Party refers to the Republican Party and the two groups that support it. Millionaires and Morons! The Republicans only care about the richest 10% of the population and act accordingly. If you are not super rich and vote Republican you are in the moron faction of the M & M Party!
The big corporate execs are Millionaires and vote for the M&M party for the tax benefits, while Joe the Plumber represents the moron faction of the M&M party!

WalMart Tax

The amount of money American taxpayers have pay to cover the taxes Walmart avoids. This term also applies to the increased drain on taxpayer funded programs by underpaid and uninsured Walmart employees.
Walmart sets up stores in buildings they "rent" from their own shell companies. They pay "rent" to themselves, then deduct it from their taxes. This money grubbing scum scheme helped Walmart avoid $3.39 Billion in state taxes from 1999-2005.

Also taxpayers will pay $9.1 Billion over the next 5 years to cover Walmart employee health care costs. They have almost 800,000 workers without health care coverage. Many of Walmart's employees are forced to use Medicaid or just show up at an emergancy room. This kind of bullshit taxes us all by increasing the cost of healthcare for all of us!
The Walmart tax hurts the whole economy and helps keep them rich while shifting the costs to the people. Their Pro-China attitude towards merchandise hurts American jobs and their heinous tax avoidance schemes also hurt America's bottom line! Here's the real cost of the WalMart Tax-- If WalMart paid all of the taxes they owed in 2005: 318,440 uninsured children would have health coverage; 21,963 elementary school students would have new classrooms; and 9,499 additional police officers could be patrolling our streets! "SAVE MONEY--LIVE BETTER," obviously this doesn't really apply to the shoppers only to the Walmart corporation!
