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!

Countdown to Congressional Elections
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.
Noam Chomsky, M.I.T. emeritus Professor of Linguistics
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.’
“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”.
Thirty states are asking for federal aid to balance their FY2011 budgets. California needs $1.5 billion; Texas, $900 million; Pennsylvania, $848 million; Illinois, $737 million; and on and on and on. Without the aid dozens of states will be forced to cut much-needed services such as school teachers, police and sheriff departments, fire departments, many utility services, road repairs, etc., etc., etc. None of these things are federally mandated to the states. However, Medicaid is, and that, too, will be cut. Residents of those states will go ballistic when these and others are cut in order to balance state budgets. Half of those states have Republican governors. Ironic, isn’t it?
