Stop dumping on middle class
Shame on the Republicans for walking out on debt talks. Their inflexibility is unpatriotic.
And I find it so extremely distasteful that they call closing loopholes – a tax hike.
Ending tax loopholes for companies and individuals who make billions of dollars could add more than $40 billion to our coffers in one year. But they needn’t worry. It’s a Republican Congress.
I can see where this is going. You’re going to make us pay that $14 trillion debt that started with Mr. Bush.
Well, we, the middle class, can’t take much more. We pay our taxes. We pay for our health care and education (25 percent of our kids already live in poverty – how embarrassing). We’ve lost our jobs and our homes. Many are underemployed and make next to nothing. They’ve allowed higher gas and food prices, an additional burden.
