It's sort of funny. The top .01% of wage earners controlled the debate so they could get their tax cuts before the country could work on anything else. Quite cleverly, they got poor and middle class people to fight on their behalf. Now they are pushing the debate about the deficit so that the government slashes every program it has instead of asking the wealthy for more tax revenue again in two years.
If you are falling for this stuff, you have no idea how the new political/media clusterfuck actually works. But by all means, keep fighting for people that are looking to fuck over everyone they can.
Here is how it should break down for you.
1)If you make over $250K and don't care about the country, then keep calling for program cuts and tax cuts. This is TOTALLY FINE, but be honest about it and admit that you just want the tax cuts and could care less about the implications. Nothing wrong with the choice, but be honest about it.
2) If you make over $250K and you actually care about the country, you understand that taxes have to go up.
3) You make less than $250K so you should DEMAND that the two groups above start paying more taxes.
You need to pick one of those three groups to be in. They are all perfectly fine choices, but you have to choose one.
