Rep. Charles Rangel: Cutting's Not Saving
The truth. Wall Street and big corporations and especially the Koch brothers are having great times, posting growth and gain and making huge profits so they obviously don't really need tax cuts but why are they using the Repugs and Teabastards? As a means to an end to accommodate their greed, the same greed that put us in the Great Recession. The keep creating more deficits with their fucked up politics just to have an excuse to cut more wealth away from the middle class into the hands of the rich and the same people whop vote for these Repugs are going to have nothing left soon.
Lost in the midst of the current debate over budgets and collective bargaining is an understanding of how we got here. The current economic plight we are mired in is not a product of the policies enacted by President Obama and the 111th Congress. Middle-class workers and public employee pensions did not diminish America's fiscal vitality. Rather, the Great Recession our country faces was caused by the failed policies of the Bush era and the greed of Wall Street.
President Bill Clinton left office in 2001 with a budget surplus. On the other hand, President Bush led our country into two unjustified wars which went unpaid, extended unfunded tax cuts to the wealthiest Americans and created a culture of unaccountability and deregulation that fueled the recession.
A decade later, our nation is calling for shared sacrifice to pull through these difficult times. Yet it doesn't make any economical or moral sense that the heaviest burden should be shouldered by already struggling middle-class families while the financial giants, big corporations, and the Koch brothers are enjoying major tax breaks.
