Inside The Sickness That Makes Republicans Hate Poor Children

Inside The Sickness That Makes Republicans Hate Poor Children: "The famous quote that says the degree of civilization of a society is measured by how it treats its weakest members was probably not referring to children because in most societies, it is a given that children must be treated well because they represent promise for the future. This is not limited to industrialized nations or advanced civilizations, but is a universal truth that parents understand and most humane people agree with. America is no different and any parent would agree that they would do anything to nurture their offspring to ensure a secure and content life. It is sad, but not all Americans hold children in the same regard and it is especially true if they are poor minority children...."

The Rich Get Richer, and the Poor Get Shorter Life Spans

The Rich Get Richer, and the Poor Get Shorter Life Spans: "Three-plus decades dominated by the GOP philosophy of trickle-down economics, tax cuts for the rich, and corporate welfare has resulted in a growing disparity between the rich and poor in this country–and a growing disparity in the life expectancy between the two classes.

In other words, the rich get richer, and the poor get to die earlier...."

Cheap Labor Conservatives Will Destroy The Middle Class

Cheap Labor Conservatives Will Destroy The Middle Class: "You’ve heard it all before, taxes and regulations are the reasons why American has lost more than 40,000 U.S. manufacturing plants between 2001 and 2009 (including 36 percent of factories employing more than 1,000 workers). Also From 2000 to 2009, 5.5 million or 32 percent of all manufacturing jobs were lost, all because of the oppressive regulations of the EPA and taxes.

Well here is a great story coming right out of China that runs smack in opposition to what the cheap labor conservative in the Republican Party have been telling you...."

Republicans Push For Tax Hike On WORKERS

GOP may OK tax increase that Obama hopes to block

GOP may OK tax increase that Obama hopes to block: "News flash: Congressional Republicans want to raise your taxes. Impossible, right? GOP lawmakers are so virulently anti-tax, surely they will fight to prevent a payroll tax increase on virtually every wage-earner starting Jan. 1, right?
Apparently not.

Many of the same Republicans who fought hammer-and-tong to keep the George W. Bush-era income tax cuts from expiring on schedule are now saying a different "temporary" tax cut should end as planned. By their own definition, that amounts to a tax increase...."

What a bunch of hypocrites.

What I Don't Understand

So, I got told today by a Teabagger that I don't understand that if taxes are raised on the rich, that they won't create jobs. Oh fucking really now? Somehow Clinton raised taxes, and 20-25 million jobs were created. Bush lowered taxes and we lost millions of jobs and you're going to try and tell me that I don't understand?! What I don't understand is how I pay more in taxes than Exxon Mobil when I live below the fucking poverty level. I actually owed money this year when they and plenty of other companies got a fucking refund check! What I don't understand is how they're the 'job creators' and they're not making any damn jobs. Instead, they're laying of workers while making record profits and sitting on millions of dollars! What I don't understand is how people get this idea into their head that supply side economics is a fucking good thing. What I don't understand is how me and millions of other people are expected to pay more than our fair share when we sure as hell can't afford it. And the people who can afford it are receiving welfare on steroids!

A company who makes $5 million an hour in profit can receive welfare and that's ok but thousands of people who actually need the help are given the boot! Are you fucking kidding me?! How are we supposed to get out of this damn recession when money is being squeezed out of the middle class? To give you an idea of how bad it's getting; the CEO of Wal-Mart makes in one hour, what the average annual salary is of a Wal-Mart employee. But somehow they can't afford to pay more but the rest of us can?! Give me a fucking break!
