more and yes there have to be cuts. The rich have seen their wealth RISE AND RISE AND RISE while all the peons below them have seen their wealth DECREASE AND DECREASE AND DECREASE if they are even lucky to still have a job. Congress has taken us into war after war which costs money (and made alot money for those already wealthy too didnt it-shouldve been an excess profit tax on those war profiteering companies), there was the donut hole, TARP, GM bailout, stimulus, etc. Those things cost money. The upper percentages have money. The bottom doesnt. Someone has to pay down the deficit. Should it be the people who even throughout all the things I have mentioned above have seen their wealth STEADILY RISE AND RISE AND RISE...or should it be the people who barely have enough to get by or those that have none?
When my grandma's furnace broke 10 years ago there was my mom and her brother and me and my sister who chipped in on it. Me and my sister with our young families, new houses, etc did not have as much "wealth" as my mom and my uncle. So when it came time to split up the cost guess what happened. My mom and uncle paid a LARGER PORTION than me and my sister did. BECAUSE THEY HAD MORE TO GIVE THEN WE COULD.
That is what needs to be done in this country. A person who makes $3 million dollars is going to be able to pay a higher tax rate and not even notice it...a person who makes $30,000 will not only notice it..it just may break them. Is it fair that the person making $3 million has to pay a bigger share..well considering their percentage of wealth has steadily RISEN and usually of the backs of that person who makes $30,000....YES IT IS FAIR!!!!
Same thing with the cuts...the cuts have to be to from the people who the cuts will LEAST affect. The oil company subsidies or the WIC program. Should there even be ANY QUESTION whatsoever which is to be cut...THERE SHOULD BE NOT EVEN A HESITATION!!! These rich SOBs and corporations sent our JOBS OVERSEAS AND GET TAX BREAKS FOR IT. THEY BECOME EVEN WEALTHIER. They have destroyed the middle class yet have been rewarded for it by their wealth INCREASING and the very people who they have destroyed LOSE YET AGAIN in cuts for programs for the poor, HEAP, food stamps, etc...JUST TO GIVE THEM MORE TAX BREAKS TO MAKE MORE MONEY. Ohh but we gotta balance the budget and pay down the deficit.
There is a big problem in this country with wealth inequality and until that is changed NOTHING will get better for anyone but that top percent. BOTH parties are guility of catering to the corporations...but the Dems will throw us back the bone after they clean it off the meat...the Republicans wouldnt even pizz on us if we were on FIRE!!! But y'all just go ahead and worship the rich and say they are soooo smart and work sooo hard and deserve to make 400% than the POS lazy freeloading workers...leave their money alone. Go ahead and scream communist and socialist and marxist. I WILL CALL IT HUMAN DECENCY!!!! NO I WILL NOT MAKE EXCUSES FOR THEIR NEVERENDING DISGUSTING GREED AND GLUTTONY AND NEITHER SHOULD YOU!!!!!
