This was not a pledge to represent the American people or to protect America’s interests as a whole. It was a pledge to protect Wall Street instead of Main Street.

The GOP is putting forth their best effort to brainwash America into believing this is fair by pitching the idea that these are the job creators and you can’t raise taxes on the job creators.
The past ten years have proven that the wealthy are NOT the job creators in America. (Simply put, it’s the middle class that creates jobs. When the middle class has the money to buy products and services, they create demand. Demand spurs job creation.)
