Well…we all know that the repubs lie all the time, every damn time they open their mouths it’s a lie…and that was the case with the tax cut scam that has been foisted on the American people. They have gone on an on about how much of the cuts will go to the middle class; that it’s primary benefit will go to the middle class…my question is since when is Warren Buffet in the middle class? Just yesterday, Buffet revealed how much his tax cut was from that odious piece of crap…29 billion dollars…yep, one person, one of the richest people in the world got a gift of 29 billion dollars from the cuts…I wonder what you got? I know I didn’t get a damn dime and analysis of the law found that companies and the rich got over 95% of the cuts….so, that leaves 5% for the rest of us…I wonder what 5% divided by 330 million people is? Not jack shit, and the lie that giving companies all that money would “trickle down” to higher wages…nope wrong again….only 3.5% of the tax cuts went into wages and most of them went to “bonuses” that are one time things…not a raise in wages that are permanent. The rest went to stockholders and owners just as it was designed to do….so when you look in your paycheck and see that extra buck fifty….remember the 29 billion and how the repubs screwed you….

A couple of little ones…
Well….I think I’ll give ole Rick a rest for the day and just muse about a few things…first, can the repubs get any more blatant about their disdain for working people? They pledge to fight to the death to continue tax breaks for the rich and business but when it comes to the extension of the payroll tax cut for workers, they have pledged to fight it’s extension….just more evidence that they have no idea how the economy works…workers will spend that money while the rich will just bid up the prices of luxury items like paintings, Maseratis, etc. and other non-productive uses…when do we get back to the America where we think big and do big things? I was heartened to hear Warren Buffet come out and say that he knows that the super rich like him are undertaxed and he can’t understand why the repubs are lined up one and all to give him more breaks….we all know why they do it…the repubs have been bought by these people and that’s what money does…it distorts the political process and puts people into office that know they can ignore the people that vote for them and continue to steal the rest of the country for their owners….okay, that’s enough for now….I may be back later if something grabs me….
