What Do We Do About The Economy

Q: Left Jeff! Left Jeff! What do we do about this terrible economy??

A: This is a problem that all of us are concerned about. Because of Bush's failed economic policy, predatory lending practices and the windfall profits that the evil oil companies are making, our country has fallen into a deep recession, comparable to the great depression. Just look on your local street corner and you'll probably see a long soup line. People are starving because of the greed of people like Bush (who is definitely the worst president ever!). We're victims not only of Bush and his oil cronies, but also of capitalism in general. We must have someone reign in capitalism when it gets out of hand. My suggestion, if you don't want you and your children to starve, is to vote for Obama. He alone can turn the tide of the nations economy. He'll raise taxes on the rich, he'll garnish the profits of big oil companies, so they can't take advantage of us anymore, he'll create more government control of the lending industry to prevent innocent people from being suckered into mortgages they can't afford. And above all, he'll get us out of Iraq! We're spending so much money there that could go towards helping the poor. We must get out of Iraq!

Left Jeff, Left Jeff, my right wingnut god fearing friend tells me that taxing the rich will only make the economy worse and hurt the poor more. She says that the rich will spend less and employ fewer people. What do I tell her?
