It shows quite clearly that he gave away $2B to big business and is clawing it back from the lowest earners - those who can least afford it.

The problem with the Cons is that they are so arrogant they don't realise what they are doing. You reap what you sow.

That's what happens when people focus only on ideology, and don't consider the real life consequences of irrational polices.

It is incredible, that Republicans have managed to blame teachers, firemen, and policemen, and unions, for the massive grand theft prosecuted by corporate CEO's in every industry, which crashed our economy, after tremendous loss of revenues, brought about by the Bush tax cuts, loss of buying power by the vast number of MIddle Class Americans, and no one watching the hen house, while Wall Sstreet had a field day.

A clear picture of failed Republican policies,.... fighting wars, cutting taxes, and failing to regulate the thieves at the top, as the Middle Class suffered and on-going flat wages, amounting to a huge loss of income, from being gouged to pieces by the corporations, the worst of them, OIL, Medical Insurance corporations, predatory lenders and banks...

How do the Republicans have the colossal nerve, to present themselves as good stewards of our economy, when they blame and punish the Middle Class, after their massive redistribution of wealth to the top, and how the hell do they think this country will survive without a strong, rising Middle Class? /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/crazy.gif


Pure insanity. And then we have "Clerks" on here writing about how the poor millionaires, aren't really millionaires any more!

Unbelievable!
