I agree with you Rk. I lean more to the right than to the left. But I am tired of the the doomsday the republicans say will happen if they raised taxes on the rich 3 percent. The claim they will be forced to pull there companies out of the united sates if that happens seems like pure hogwash to me. Think about it, the tax cuts in place for the rich have been in place since GWB, but companies are STILL pulling jobs out of the country. They will move the jobs overseas if they can make a penny more. I don't understand the middle class staunch support for the rich in this country when they are being screwed by them at the same time.
Take the company I work for, for an example.They have made between 20-25 percent OVER budget for the last ten years now.So how do they reward there employees? They cut the bonus in half, gave out a 1.1 percent raise. While the president of the company pockets a cool half million dollar bonus.While he bitches about the cost of putting his kids through college. I know I could leave my job and find another one, but I've been with the company when a profit of 12 million a year was a cause for a HUGE party. Now we are making a profit ten times that over a 15 year period. Sometimes I wish they would share the wealth a little more.
