The Repubilicans got us into this mess!! The Republican's economic policies of "trickle down economics" never trickled down to anywhere except their deep pockets and portfolios. This is the message we have to hammer over and over again. This is what Obama means by the politics of the past. The Republicans are good at trying to keep our attention deficit disordered mind's off the real root of the problem as they try to do the old bait and switch on the American public hoping Obama fails in hopes of offsetting a revolt against the greed in this country.
Those that support the rich who own the media are now going after Obama like rabid dogs. The rich don't want any more "social" programs like:
-Education spending
-Healthcare spending
-Renewable Energy exploration (especially Exxon)
-government accountablility
-government oversight of business
-less globalization of American business
They are
doing better than ever!!
Why haven't any of the Democratic leadership begun to pushback and ask where all of these jobs that the rich supposed to produce if they received tax cuts and made more money gone? They made out like bandits over the last 8 years and produced crap!! They hoarded their money because that's what they do!!! History will back me up on this!!
The average tax rate paid by the richest 400 Americans fell by a third to 17.2% through the first six years of the Bush administration, and their average income doubled to $263.3 million, new data show.
The rich have doubled their incomes over the last 8 years while everyone else are having to tighten their belts. It's history that continues to repeat itself over and over again since man began. The rich want to dominate and control everything. They want the middle America to suffer while they enjoy luxury like
this.
We must repeat the message that the Republican policies got us into this mess and their plan to fix the stimulus is nothing less than the same old crap, they're getting richer as we're getting poorer and we're not going to take anything less of what we put Obama in office for. We have to repeat this until we are blue in the face and it becomes ingrained in every working American's brain.
Keep focused as to what really is going on. Politics is about distribution of wealth and who gets what. Right the the rich are getting everyting while the rest of the country is getting a finger. I know 5 people who have recently lost their jobs, who thought they were rich making $50,000/yr incomes but lost their jobs after working for their companies over 15 to 18 years. This is what the reality of what's going on. The rich are insulated from this....
Obama needs to raise taxes on people making over $250,000 per year as he promised, get us out of the 10 billion dollar a month Iraq war as he promised and live up to those campaign promises. I believe he is trying to do this but the Republicans are doing everything in the media and in their power to distract from focus. They are scared to death of this guy. They may not be worth 100 million dollars but rather 90 million dollars once we get through with them...
Those poor, poor bastards!!!
Now I'm off to enjoy my birthday with my family!!! Don't let them switch the subject. People are scared and seriously hurting no thanks to the Republicans...
