Democrats want to take all our money and return to us one dime out of each dollar.
Republicans want to take all our money and give it to corporations and the wealthy.
Neither is acceptable!

The most effective way to restrict democracy is to transfer decision-making from the public arena to unaccountable institutions: kings and princes, priestly castes, military juntas, party dictatorships, or modern corporations.

Surprise, surprise, surprise! The Republicans have proposed another huge tax cut to “fix” our economy and “pay down the debt”! Who would have ever guessed it! No matter how many times trickle-down-economics fails, the Republicans just won’t give up on it. But on the other hand, why should they — it always gets them one step closer to their final objective: ‘No taxes by corporations and the wealthy; only the little people should pay taxes.’

Well, well, well! Here we go again — opposition to the new health care bill is still dropping. Within 4 weeks of signing the new health care reform bill polls were showing the public was warming to it. Now a new poll is showing yet another increase in those who think the new laws will benefit the average commoner. Over the past month those who hold a favorable view has increased to 50 percent from 46 percent in April, with 14 percent saying they had no opinion. If you add to that a new analysis out this week that says 29.5 million women will benefit from the new bill, the “in-favor” group will probably go up. WOW! Who would’ve thought that once the lies died down and the truth started coming out, things wouldn’t look so horrible? However, Republicans are still solidly against it. But that’s not surprising. If Democrats suddenly found a way to solve all our problems overnight with no negative side effects, the Republicans would argue “now’s just not the time to do it”.
Will the two major political parties tell us in writing what they intend to do if put in charge of Congress, or will they just try to point out to us what we already know – that neither of them are fit to govern? [...]
“Senate Republicans, committed as they are to preventing the debt from mounting further, can’t approve an extension of unemployment benefits because it would cost $35 billion. But they are untroubled by the notion of digging the hole $678 billion deeper by extending President Bush’s tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans”.
