It's a sham that the Democrats are the party of the everyday people. They USE people, buy votes, and keep people in poverty so that they can stay in power. And there is BIG money backing the Democrats. They try to pretend that they don't have big business behind them but that is a lie. They do. They don't care about the people, they care about POWER and CONTROL.
Artful Dodger: How about those Republicans misrepresenting the lifting of the tax cuts? They are wrongly depicting them being lifted for anyone other than the top 3 %
and they also blocked unemployment insurence benefits.If there was ever any confusion of who the Republicans are looking out for, all doubt has passed.They are looking out for the top percentage of earners, but couldn't care less about the unemployed.
Jim Dandy: Why should people who are still unemployed continue to get benefits? Their benefits ran out. The government isn't supposed to be in the business of giving people money. We don't have an empty pot. Many people just won't get off their butts and take a job because "it doesn't pay enough." nonsense.
And the tax cuts, if lifted, will trickle down and everyone will be affected. It WILL affect small businesses. It will affect the creation of jobs. It's nonsense to think that picking on the rich is somehow a noble thing to do. Democratic party is run by morons.
Argomento: Re:And the tax cuts, if lifted, will trickle down and everyone will be affected
Artful Dodger: voodoo economics, even Reagan's former staff members rebuff that claim, amongst many others.
As I said, 97% will not be effected by the cuts, but Republicans are tripping over themselves trying to save the rich from a tax hike, while thumbing their fingers at those who have expiring benefits.
