You are correct old friend, it started with Ronald Reagan 3 decades ago. With the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy, it just got worse.
We have never seen the disparity between the classes that we have today in our lifetimes. It has not been this great since before the Great Depression.
True that!
I wouldn't care either if it had not affected our economy and debt and requires the middle class take on more of the nations debt, and cuts to senior's benefits.eace
Well I did say in a post either more jobs or higher taxes.
What do you think of Obama's job plan bill.
It is my opinion with the way things are; good or bad the unemployed will be for it.
Voting against a job plan bill to create more jobs that would be too gutsy for me.loleace
Yes but not a single time in history have they ever been on the table as a bargaining factor. That is complete bull**** and shows the Republicans true colors just like when the Republicans used the 9/11 first responders bill as a "bargaining" tool.The point is that Unemployment benefits were on the table to be cut
This is true I dont disagree with that.and the President had to choose what he was going to fight for. If you didn't like the fact that the GOP was ready to cut the benefits, that's another topic.
I never said they could.The Dems can't control what the GOP thinks and vice versa.
But the whole point being the Dems and Obama have caved and gave in just about to every single republican demand...
I think it is good, but too small my friend. Given that the House is controlled by the GOP, it is, from a pragmatic viewpoint, the most we could possibly get passed. Even though it doesn't increase the debt, my guess is the Republican's will find some way to kill this proposal. After all it is not in their political interest for there to be more jobs before the election. And we have already seen, during their refusal to raise the debt ceiling to pay our previous debts, that they are perfectly willing to place politics before the good of the country.eace

Which loopholes are you referring to?
I love it when I get to ask that question. :lamo
Correction: Republicans controlled both houses of congress for the first 2 years, and they controlled the Senate for the first 6 years, when most of the spending occurred. Congress actually reduced the spending levels that were requested by Reagan.
The tax break for the unemployed poor means nothing
The tax break for the working poor means that they can buy some of the items they need for survival, allows them to keep thier head above water, it does not increase their individual wealth,
The tax break for the middle class means they can replace thier cars tires or maybe buy real butter, the increased monies will end up right back in the hands of those who do not need it
The tax break for the rich allows them to accumulate more wealth they can bank it and draw interest, they can invest it in wall street schemes allowing them to make more money off of the tax breaks.
