Spreading the wealth among the wealthiest
Aren’t we, in the middle and lower income
levels in this country, tired of paying for
the Bush tax cuts to the wealthiest people
and corporations in this country? Aren’t we
fed up with the huge government bailouts of
the automobile and airline companies, of the
hedge funders, futures guys, investment banks etc. who
risked our money and futures? John McCain
wants us to continue to support the lifestyles
of the rich and infamous, even those who have
shut down jobs in this country and or have moved
them overseas to make more money. Spreading the
wealth means that those who make more money don’t
just spread it among their trust fund children,
but actually pay for the lives they enjoy under
the laws of this country with the incomes they’ve
earned on the backs of others. John McCain’s supporters,
for the most part, are those who don’t even make the
kind of money that will get them tax cuts. Why people
keep voting for politicians who don’t represent their
best interests is baffling. I’m sure there is a
psychological term for it. And frankly, I'm tired of
raised fees being ok with Republicans if they aren't
called taxes.

Rant:
Bush is one of our history’s giant fuck ups
and homegrown terrorist and I hope the day
after this election, every single media outlet
details all the fuck ups, broken laws,
Constitutional denials and terrorist acts
that Bush Inc. has committed in these past
years and reveal Bush as a twice termed unelected pResident
enjoying his rich and infamous lifestyle at
our expense and our children's futures.

1. They like concentrating the wealth...
The top 5% NEEDS their tax cut money. What would a middle class wage earner do with that money? Probably something reckless like; blow it all on groceries, medical, or heating bills.

2. indeed.
People should start waking up to the realities
of corporatism, the real system we function under.
