Republicans do not believe in shared sacrifice, though they talk about it. 100% of the deficit reduction falls on the back of the poor and lower-middle class. Nothing, nada, zip, from the only category of people who are actually acquiring and keeping more of their wealth for the last ten years.
And job creators? Don’t make us laugh. If giving rich people money created jobs, we’d have more jobs than any time in the past 50 years. The more tax breaks corporations get, the more people they fire.
Oh oh oh oh…. I get it. The guy carrying the sign on his left is carrying his end without issue. The guy carrying the sign on his right (get it?) can’t carry his end of the load. Who said Bennet’s cheap shots can’t be subtle? Still cheap, but at least you got truly creative this time, A$$bagger.
“‘shared sacrifice’ So the bottom 50% that pays no income tax is going to start paying?”Anyone believing that 50% myth is ether drunk, stoned, or down right stupid. Even people receiving unemployment and/or welfare payments have to pay taxes on that income. Show us some nonpartisan evidence or shut the f up!

I’m guessing the point is that the debt ceiling deal is unbalanced.

The sign cartoon still doesn’t make sense. The sign appears to be equal in size and the two guys appear to be equal in size.

I wonder if Clay Bennett is reading the comments in his (this) own strip. Ted Ralls does in his and interacts quite well. Clay, can you hear me now?
