We put up a poster at our booth at the “Yaller Dog Democrats” booth at the Redneck Festival in Weissport that said, “There’s class warfare and our class ain’t winning.”
I saw in the Salt Lake Tribune this morning that the Republicans were calling Obama’s plan “class warfare.” All the Republicans (and Fox “News”) will now make that claim over and over.
We do have class warfare. It is against the middle class, union members, people who have no health insurance, teachers, workers who lack papers, poor women, poor children.
Who is winning this war? Check out the compensation paid to company executives. Look at the breaks oil companies get. Think about the way elections can be bought in this country. Look at foreclosures, and layoffs, and give-backs, and unemployment. It’s time we fight back.
We have also heard that Social Security is a Ponzi scheme. By way o Rick Perry and Paul Ryan. Might I suggest that the real Ponzi scheme is the one being perpetuated by the GOP. Give them all of the Tax breaks and they will create jobs. Well, they got their Bush Tax cut extension last December, so I ask, where are the jobs? They probably did create some jobs somewhere in the world but they sure as hell didn't in the U.S.
ReplyDeleteWhat we need is for the voters to fire about 260 house republicans, starting with the TEA PARTY!
