which is why the middle class is fucked. the rich can buy the politicians, the politicians have to present the appearance of kowtowing to big special interests like the elderly, and nothing substantial can be taken from the poor, they've already had most of their entitlements stripped and are taxproof.
leaving the middle class, especially the lower middle class, the most superfluous part of the middle class and the old economy, holding the shitty end of the stick.
anyway, any debate about the bush tax cuts is silly. congress will let them expire, but create loopholes that makes their expiration meaningless. then the baggers will take office - cuz the republicans are dead in the water - reinstate tax cuts cuz thats what the bagger masters tell them to do, and they have no real policies of their own - and we are right back where we were, but with a few million more lower middle class now permanently in the lower class, and facing currency devaluation and an even worse infrastructure.
round and round we go - because we are stupid americans and can't face facts and think our way out of this trap.
