how the rich get richer


I find this very crude and typical of the "haves" verse the "have nots" and it isn't just happening in "Washington politics" but here in "maine" of all places!

services, the wealthiest 10 percent of families will get 44 percent of the $155-million cut, with an average benefit of $3000 to those in the top one percent.

The estate-tax change expands from $1 million to $2 million the value of assets exempt from taxation, costing state government $51 million in revenue by the 2014-2015 fiscal years. New tax breaks for business will cost the state $57 million in the current two-year budget. In this period the tax-cut total will be $150 million, but in the next two-year budget it will account for a $400-million hit to the Treasury

It is not the right alone that is destroying the middle class! really who do you think is going to make up the short fall? who do you think is going to pick up the slack when more money is needed to run the state?
this new wave of let the other guy pay and give the biggest return to the higher income earner is a lot like the across the board percentage pay that help to spiral the difference in income to begin with.
really how about a spread where the little guy got 50% of that return,the middle got 30% and the upper got 20%! this certainly would have put more money in the economy and much less abroad!
hmmm and the games continue while the walls of "jericho" are tumbling down!
what foolishness we are allowing will cost us our freedom!
