Please save us, Sen. Feingold
Before you leave Senator.
It's down to this. We have to finally realize that we have a president that is more concerned with being liked than respected; a sad condition that invariably results in neither. What are the options to this heinous lack of regard to American "principles" that would allow these tax cuts for millionaires to continue. This continuation is not just measly 4% on income over $250,000 but also an extension of the "death tax" and continuation of the capital gains tax at 15% for derivative traders and the silver spoon crowd neither of which contributed one iota of value for any group other than other pain profiteers. Sen Russ Feingold has always been the conscience of the Senate along with a tiny, tiny few not beholden to the corporate masters (Sanders, Franken). It's go time. Time to use the same tactics the Republicans have used to prevent an up or down vote and let these cuts expire the quick death they so richly deserve. Progressives must stand against a very non-progressive shell president that when it comes right to it has done little to nothing that Leader Pelosi did not make happen and that we were too optimistic to see is not there. Progressives must stand against this president. The alternatives are not worse.
