God forbid raising taxes back to previous levels on millionaires and billionaires
Edited on Thu Nov-18-10 11:57 PM by SHRED

God forbid ending the $7 billion per month spent in Afghanistan alone.

Nope.
Instead the mouthpieces of the rich (TV and radio) are attempting to get the 98% of American people who can least afford it to focus on the cuts they "need" to absorb. The destruction of our already thin social safety nets. Never mind health care.

While the top 2% sucks up all revenue streams guess what? THEY OWN THE MESSAGE.

Who will speak for us?

We need to yell this from the rooftops and the streets....WHO SPEAKS FOR US!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is getting uglier by the second.

4. There's also that robbery by billionaire hedge fund managers being taxed at only 15%
We have to stop that version of wealthcare for billionaires.

Despicable. This country is batshit crazy. I really can't stand it anymore - from the 'bagger politicians to the 'bagger population to the seemingly 'bagger media. Who the fuck is on our side, and when are they going to start fighting?

9. The big deal isn't the top 2% which is only $700 billion...its the so called middle class cuts
worth $3.2 trillion that is the bulk of the amount.

We all need to get back to Clinton levels.
