The point you guys are completely ignoring is that the supply side economic methodology and mass exodus of our manufacturing base has led to a huge reduction in the middle class... The Bush economic policy of corporate welfare at the same time that he has increased our debt by TRILLIONS requires drastic measure to fix and Obamas plan is a step in the right direction according to most economists that have a brain.
I think it's pathetic that you consider people that don't make higher incomes as lazy... my parents aren't lazy... my family isn't lazy. That is the logical divide between the right wing ideology and reality and it's offensive to say the least.
baddog - I am glad your family is doing better... mine certainly isn't (except for me). My Mom and Dad have been laid off from a variety of jobs over the last 8 years... their house was foreclosed because they lost those jobs and only now are they starting to get back on their feet because my Dad took a job at a prison here in NC. My wife and I own a house in Michigan that has lost 25% of it's value in the last year. My brother and his fiance are having a difficult time because he is trying to pay for schooling while working a full time job and she is a high school teacher making pathetic wages.
Sly - It's not about "punishing the do haves"... it's about "do haves" contributing back a relatively small amount in order to fix the problems that we have... because they have the means... the right wing narcissism won't fix the serious infrastructure problems we face or pay back the money that they borrowed against our future as a country... you guys live in a box or something... I will have to pay these taxes too (more then likely)... you don't hear me bitching about it... I think that we are ALL Americans... not just people with means. Don't you think that if we eat all of the food we should invest in growing more? It's common sense to me.
