Ten years of tax cuts to the rich bastards who sent our jobs overseas!
It's time for the cons to face up to the fact that these rich bastards don't create jobs by giving them tax cuts.

EAT THE RICH!

Jobs are created by demand (consumers). We need a strong middle class if we expect to create new jobs.

2. Since 1981. Reaganomics cut corporate tax rate from 50-percent to 28-percent.
And that was before giant corporations hired the lobbyists to write the laws that reduced their tax liability to zero and into rebate status.

The burden for filling the Treasury fell upon the middle class. And we know how that's going.

Oh, and the money the rich promised to use the money to invest in new jobs, they used it for financing takeovers, government debt, and outsourcing. The cash and gold ended up in Switzerland.

5. Reagan made an example of PATCO.
Reagan and PATCO

Reagan and the greedy warmongers who paid him have nearly ruined America.

Almost. Not quite.

Please know I'm with you and will not let them, HillbillyBob.

3. Why aren't more people seriously vocal
Edited on Fri Nov-12-10 07:55 PM by HillbillyBob
the teabaggies are all for killing people like me off since I am on ssd, like I did not pay in for 20yrs before I got sick I worked 2 and 3 jobs plus did stuff on the side and I paid but still only get a poor 800 a month. I am not extravagant we are reducing our bills as much as possilbe but shoot I like having light and heat and food. Any further losses we won't even be able to keep the rather inexpensive roof over our heads and I WILL not go homeless for a fucking 4 time.

7. I speak up everyday at work. Today
with a wet finger I wrote OBAMA SAVED MY JOB! on the back of my dirty semi trailer and drove 500 miles all across Illinois. Got some dirty looks from a few motorists, but also got a lot of smiles and thumbs up.
