the

             American people, you're so darn stupid that we're going to keep doing

this

             until we drain every cent from you. That's what the Speaker of the

House

             is
             saying. Read below................



             Nancy Pelosi wants a Windfall Tax on Retirement Income. In other

words

             tax
             what you have made by investing toward your retirement. This woman is

a

             nut
             case! You aren't going to believe this.



             Madam speaker Nancy Pelosi wants to put a Windfall Tax on all stock

market

             profits (including Retirement fund, 401K and Mutual Funds! Alas, it

is

             true − all to help the 12 Million Illegal Immigrants and other

unemployed

             Minorities!



             This woman is frightening.
             She quotes...' We need to work toward the goal of equalizing income,
             (didn't Marx say something like this), in our country and at the same

time

                   When asked how these new tax dollars would be spent, she replied:

'We

                   need
                   to raise the standard of living of our poor, unemployed and

minorities.

                   For
                   example, we have an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants in our

country

                   who need our help along with millions of unemployed minorities. Stock
                   market
                   windfall profits taxes could go a long way to guarantee these people

the

                   standard of living they would like to have as 'Americans'.' (Read

that

                   quote again and again and let it sink in. Lower your retirement,

give
it

                   to
                   others who have not worked as you have for it.



                   Send it on to your friends. I just did!! This lady is out of her

mind.

          It's also untrue. Don't believe everything you read.
          http://www.snopes.com/politics/soapbox/pelosi.asp



          This "does not correspond to anything she actually said or proposed.

It's
a

          parody based on extremes of Democratic stereotypes − expressing scorn

for

          corporate profits, favoring huge tax rates for high−income earners,

wanting

          to confiscate money from the rich to give to "illegal immigrants" and
          "unemployed minorities" − that was written as a bit of pre−election

satire

          and falsely attributed to a pair of New York Times reporters. The

following

          year, someone reworked the piece to insert the equally false claim that

Rep.

          Pelosi's non−existent windfall tax proposal would include retirement

income

          as well as stock market profits."



                  However, even if false, she is stupid enough to suggest it.


but what about the stupid people who think the parody is true ?
