Pass middleclass tax cut now
Republicans are calling for shared sacrifice. They give up some revenue and the Democrats have to do deep cuts to Medicare, Soc sec, Medicaid and other entitlements? The problem is that the middleclass has sacrificed, earnings having been flatfor the last 10 years while the upper 2% during the same period has rocketed ahead to increase the income gaps to historical heights. So, after the middleclass has flatlined, the Republicans want the 98% to sacrifice while they protect and enrich the 2%?
It should not be a matter of shared sacrifice, because any thing the 2% must pay is not a sacrifice as there is no pain for them, they wouldn't miss anything. They don't have to worry whether they can afford heat, their car, college education, clothes or whether they will lose their house.
Tell McConnell and Boehner to pass the middleclass tax cuts now without negotiation and without delay. Don't hold the middleclass hostage to give the worlds richest people any more taxcuts that they don't need.
Tell Boehner and McConnell what you want them to do and what you think of the job they have been doing, copy the links and post them everywhere.

Good to know that someone is investigating oil and gas practices. Wonder if they'd look into what happened during the economic crisis in '08? In Oct-08 the S&P 500 dropped 20%, then in November average gas prices dropped 30% and another 20% in December. I remember hearing that the cause was an excess of reserves, but that seems rather coincidental...?
Speculation is driving Wall st. to be unfair. It's like cheating, or manipulation of the stock market. Too bad the whole world now knows what they're up to. If we have no corn, this year then, we have no corn. What's the big deal. I'm not supposed to eat it anyway. Farmers need a safety net too. When the quality of merchandise goes up, like say for instance we started manufacturing again in the U.S., the market will flourish onto new heights, naturally. Try it you might like it. stop making junk. Bring gauze blouses back, I'll supply the jean skirts. Manufacture the clothes and styles we like, we didn't like the Brady Bunch fashions, so why do they keep trying to get us to wear that crap.Bill has real nice teeth, are they veneers?
Just checked out your Friday Song for the first time and got introduced to Grooveshark. I dig it! Thx.
Hopefully, Sen. Cantwell and the Dept. of Justice, both do a thorough investigation of refineries. If the refineries are lying about their production run times just to manipulate prices, then it needs to be found out who the person and or persons made the decisions.
If it is found that people made these decisions to manipulate prices, then they should go to jail, just like Enron. If the company just has to pay a fine, then this will never end. We will wind up paying the fine through gas prices.
