We need to reinstate Bush tax cuts, not cut spending
The Bush tax cuts are the main cause of our nation’s debt, not spending, even though that is the sound byte repeated over and over by corporate media.Â
Reporters used to be reporters, not flacks reading corporate press statements, as we see on network news.Â
Today even NPR sounds like it’s delivering the Republican message.Â
The USA used to be a humane place where everyone had a home, and if you worked, you could afford a car and to send your children to college.Â
If people had good jobs again, they would pay directly into the treasury and Social Security from their paychecks, and cuts to safety net programs would not even be a consideration. Our laws have to stop rewarding businesses for sending jobs overseas. We have to re-instate taxes on millionaires.
How many yachts and mansions does a person need? Especially while the rest of us can barely keep roofs over our heads?
