The guy in back with a sign reading "If you voted yes to spending consider this your going away party" should get the moron of the year award this year, since not spending, whether private or public, is a sure way to prolong and worsen unemployment.
As for the gentleman in front who can't spell Vladimir, lowering taxes has little stimulative value, and by cutting taxes and running up a huge national debt, Bush put us on the road to economic ruin.
These people are out demonstrating against their own best interests. They're not just morons, they're fools.

The problem is that tax cuts don't manufacture demand by themselves. That pile is basically the crux of the "hurp durp tax cuts = jobs" argument and it's total bullshit.
Stephen Colbert explained the "trickle-down effect" the best with his drinking of a beer and offering the piss water to those below him.

To say nothing of the fact of brutalizing Lenin's name. Russian transliterations vary, but I've never seen a system where Valdimir Llyich was a correct spelling.

Also, Lenin never said this. It's a distorted version of something Keynes wrote, based on a supposed interview with Lenin, which was probably bogus.
Dissent is the highest form of patriotism. I believe in this whole-heartedly.
And I appreciate anyone who has the gumption to protest despite their handicapped abilities to articulate what they oppose. Their right, and ours, to a freedom of speech is something few in this world can savor. Another right we should not forget to savor, though, is the right to mock them.
Some of these signs have been floating around the internet for a while and could be called classics, others are new. They just needed to be collected in one place. Please enjoy, and share it with your friends.
