Socialists were right
The Republicans are now making it clear that if you don't work for the corporations anymore you are considered useless. That is the point of view of all American "Capitalists", and they will not budge from it, especially being encouraged by the Tea Baggers.

3. Absolutely. If you are too old, or too sick to work, you are "fired" from our nation.
You get to die. And people on the right either think that is not the way it's going, or they are fine with it because deep down they don't believe they will ever be old and sick.

4. I like the Progressive Congressional Caucus's suggestions for
something Democratic that might help our Jobs problems some. The upper tax brackets actually start kind of low, I've heard, those rates kick in at UNDER $500K, which seems low considering where the top incomes in that rate-range.

Raising the bottom of the top brackets to say, e.g., $1 million, would give a rate reduction to those who really are only part of a bracket at the top of the "Middle-Class" tax rates. Wouldn't this seed the lower, more flexible and local, capital in those upper-middle tax groups to invest in their own communities?

Thus reducing the power of large corporations.

Labor IS Personal Capital.

Solidarity!
