Read My Lips Koch Brothers, No New Tax Cuts: "Americans are known for their generosity, charity, and concern toward foreigners who suffer during times of natural disasters, but recently, American conservatives have demonstrated that their lack of concern for their countrymen who are poor and disadvantaged through no fault of their own. Millions of Americans have lost their jobs and homes to a less-than-ideal economy and Republicans have answered with cuts to unemployment benefits and social safety nets belying generosity and charity for their own citizens. Many Americans consider it a privilege to pay their taxes because the government used to take care of our most vulnerable citizens. Republicans though, hate taxes when they are used to fund government aid programs, but they depend on them to fund their wars and tax breaks for the rich. This week, Warren Buffet wrote an op/ed where he said the wealthy should pay more taxes because of the opportunity this country has given them, and that they should share the sacrifice middle class America shoulders...."
