Dick Gephardt\u2019s mother would never, ever think of this on her own &#8211; and with Dick as an in-the-know son, she\u2019d know her Soche Security checks aren\u2019t in danger. When I read this, I just had to play the old Dick Gephardt\u2019s Imaginary Friend parody. This came about when Gephardt claimed he was meeting with a billionaire who tried to influence him on tax policy. Of course, supposedly this mythical billionaire didn\u2019t want a tax cut! <\/line><BR\/>Way back when the Democrats were accusing us of starving kids, I joked about sending my mother a can opener. Patsy Schroeder went to the floor of the House of Representatives and told the story as though it were true! What gets me is that the media reported those stories as if GOP were really mean enough to starve seniors &#8211; and that they somehow thought they\u2019d get re-elected by doing so! Compare that to the coverage of an issue I\u2019ll be talking about a lot this week &#8211; the Alternate Minimum Tax. <\/line><BR\/>Even the IRS wants this tax abolished, saying it\u2019s unfair. Like so much federal legislation, it\u2019s having unintended consequences in the real world. It\u2019s not hitting the target it was aimed at. But I read a bunch of stories saying that &#8220;Congress&#8221; won\u2019t repeal it, and is &#8220;reluctant to repeal it.&#8221; It\u2019s not Congress; it\u2019s the Democrats! And reluctant? They\u2019re adamantly opposed to ending this unfair tax, because they know their socialist schemes will lose half a trillion dollars. Yet this isn\u2019t reported as the Democrats opposing cutting the taxes for those unfairly taxed. It\u2019s unreal.<\/line><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/windows\/windowsmedia\/en\/download\/default.asp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/apr_8_gephardt_uses_mom_.Par.0005.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"29\" class=\"alignleft\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I just don\u2019t get this.
