Don’t rob children for ease of the rich
Merry Christmas to wealthy corporate elites! Your Republican handmaidens have delivered.
Over the last 30 years, Republicans and spineless Democrats have presided over a historic redistribution of wealth from working Americans to the super-rich. This was not a product of market forces but a result of premeditated government policies that exported well-paying jobs and stuffed the pockets of the rich with lavish tax breaks.
This year, while bemoaning the growth of the national debt, Republicans added billions to it with Christmas gifts for the rich. When workers complain, all the right-wing talking heads warn of “class warfare” and claim that Americans are just jealous.
The truth is that the rich have waged war against working Americans for the last 30 years. We are not jealous. We are angry that our government places the interest of the rich ahead of the interest of America.
