Jim Worth: The Selfish Rich of the 21st Century
"Despite the failure of 10 years of low taxes to produce jobs and stimulate the economy, Republicans insist that continued tax breaks for the rich will tinkle down.
The middle-class continues to struggle under the weight of 12 years of Republican policies; policies that transferred wealth from ninety-eight percent (98%) of the American population -- hard-working Americans -- to the two percent (2%) wealthiest Americans.
In the last 30 years, incomes for the wealthiest one percent of Americans rose 281% while middle-class wages have remained flat. Yet Republicans argue that letting the tax breaks for wealthy Americans expire would dramatically slow the economy and prevent job creation."
