Obama's Tax Cut Deal, by MoveOn :
And then this one, showing just how poorly paid we are:

Formulated from Social Security Wage Statistics for 2009
Get out the calculator, and make up some charts to show how few have most of the money in this country:
I did some of the math. Those with income over $250,000 are 1.18 million people or .393% of the US population. You can read the entire analysishere.
5,000 Americans earned $5 million or more or $57 Billion?
And the GOP just voted down a measely $14 Billion to give the elderly a check for $250?

Why People are Angry:
For blue collar workers, this is a Depression.
Blue collar manufacturing jobs slashed 1 in 6 jobs in 2007
In 2000 we had 17,000 million mfg jobs,by 208 we had less than 12,000. We lost 5,000,000 million jobs. A 29% reduction, and the fewest # of mfg jobs since the beginning of WWII
87% unemployed Blue collar jobs lost permanently, Boston Globe
New auto workers being paid 1/2 per hour wage as existing auto workers, $14/hr.
8 million slipped out of middle into poverty
40 million live in poverty
7.8 lost health insurance, about 50 million americans.
3.2 million workers lost their pension
50% have no pension coverage at all
Pensions are going the way of the dinosaur, workers need Social Security
14 Million children are food insecure
Middle class men 11.2% drop in their incomes, less $7,700/year
Women 4.8% drop in income.
Median Income dropped by 22%.
CAN THE COLD HEARTS OF THOSE OPPOSING PROGRAMS FOR RE-EMPLOYMENT BE MELTED BY A CONCERN FOR CHILDREN? If not, we are really destined for worse times.
This what happens when you impoverish children. Too many end up in jail:
And PLEASE, make the GOP defend this. And no, the poverty on the map is not all due to Native American Reservations.
