How many?

[madamesilverspurs]

How many members of Congress would benefit if the tax cut for the wealthy is extended? And how have those members voted on the question?

1. I don't have the number, but I was thinking similar earlier today. There is

bound to be a number of them that would benefit ...

2. All of them, or nearly all.

It is the rich peoples club. Seriously, how many poor members of Congress do you know?

3. Most of these guys/gals are completely out of touch with the reality of what

most Americans live each day. Many of them have never lacked for anything in life. They are completely insular to the problems many Americans face. It's no wonder this country is so F'ed up. They simply have never felt the pain of many Americans, so they cast judgment on those they don't know and whose pain they have never even remotely experienced.

And each day the gap grows wider. This will continue until it completely fractures and then breaks what spirit of America is left.

I also get a laugh of the said two trillion held onto by corporate America, why tax cuts are needed for the wealthy. These corps. have found better investments / cheaper employees outside of the US. Just how F'en stupid do they think we are ... tax cuts are not going to create jobs here ... that's as laughable as thinking if the stock market goes up it creates jobs.

I see a pretty dismal future for America until we get politicians in office with a sense of reality and closer to the majority of Americans. Just as you say, all we have now is a very rich peoples club with Congress.

4. It's like having only two teams to cheer for and you hate them both. nt
