The Agenda Project released an ad calling out hypocrisy by members of Congress who don't want to raise taxes on the rich pointing out that most of them are themselves rich. Rep. John Campbell was on with Neil Cavuto on Fox News to argue against the ad. The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down.

1. nail, meet hammer.

2. Either taxes are raise on the wealthy

or social security and medicare will be cut.

No one mentions ending the expensive unnecessary wars of course.

3. I loved THIS line from Cenk! "There's no hypocrisy...

I'm a greedy son of a bitch"

Cenk sure NAILS IT!

4. I don't WANT to raise anybody's taxes

Well, no one does, Deary.

No one WANTS to have a colonoscopy (well, almost no one) either.
But if you're over 50, it's a good idea.

No one WANTS to tear up the hardwood floors in their living room.
But if you have termites, it's a good idea.

No one WANTS to evacuate their beautiful beach house.
But if a cat.5 hurricane is coming, it's a good idea.

No one WANTS to empty the litter box.
But if you own an indoor cat, it's a good idea.

No one WANTS to have that big tree in the yard cut down.
But if it's about to fall on the house, it's a good idea.

Are you getting the gist of my argument, you whiny, disingenuous Repug? How stupid do you think we all are?

No one WANTS to raise taxes,
But if YOUR COUNTRY, which you have sworn to serve, needs to or become Somalia, you'd better buck up and do what's needs to be done.... like an adult.

Repugs simply do not care about the quality of life of their constituents. When are we gonna make it so if an elected official is not serving their constituents, they can get FIRED (not just elected out) for not doing what they are getting paid to do? Repugs don't do their jobs. Anyone can see that.
