Democracy Quote by Rush Limbaugh
“When the Democrats start targeting the rich, they are also targeting the people that hire you, and if they take enough money away from them, you might lose your job - and you're supposed to be happy about that, too, because the rich guy just had his taken from him. This is not arguable. This is how the Democrats go about it.”
