POPSThe master plan I can't deal with this country anymore. Norquist said one in six state lawmakers across the country has signed his Taxpayer Protection Pledge. Members of Congress, governors and attorneys general also have signed it. "I'm not voting for the budget because I signed a tax pledge; I'm not voting for the bill because raising taxes will devastate our economy for all Californians," said state Sen. Tony Strickland of Thousand Oaks, one of those who kept their word. Devastate what? You mean you're going to do everything to make sure the people don't raise taxes on the rich so they can ride out the financial crisis in style? Go devastate your face.

POPSThe more you pay, the better you feel If the numbers confuse you, it basically means that the power of suggestion (which is what a placebo is; believing that taking the pill will help you) has created consumers that believe generic or lower-priced medicines are inferior to the more expensive or name-brand medicines. AKA More profits for private companies and higher barriers for those who live in poverty.

POPSI Want My Freedom The jury was FORCED to rule against this man. This is because the jury was led out several times during the trial, as well as being told that they were prohibited from reading any articles about the trial itself. Juries have the right to declare a defendant not guilty if they all agree that the law itself is unjust. Prosecutors made sure to choose jurors that didn't know they had a choice.
