Bernie Sanders Storms The Senate and Rips The Republican Rich Get Richer Budget

Sen. Sanders said:

As I examine the budget brought forth by the Republicans in the House and here in the Senate, this is how I see their analysis of the problems facing our country.

At a time of massive wealth and income inequality, the Republicans apparently believe that the richest people in America need to be made even richer. It is apparently not good enough that 99 percent of all new income today is going to the top 1 percent. That’s apparently not enough. It is not good enough that the top one-tenth of one percent today own almost as much wealth as the bottom 90 percent. Clearly, in Republican eyes, the wealthy and the powerful need more help. Not only should they not be asked to pay more in taxes, the Republicans believe that we should cut tax rates for millionaires and billionaires.

It is not good enough that corporate America is enjoying record breaking profits, and that the CEOs of large corporations earn some 290 times more than what their average employees make.

“It is apparently not good enough that since 1985 the top one-tenth of 1 percent has seen a more then $8 trillion increase in its wealth than what they would have had if wealth inequality had stayed at the same level that it was in 1985. An $8 trillion increase in the wealth of the top one-tenth of 1 percent! Apparently, that is not enough.

Meanwhile, as I understand the Republican view of our country, as manifested in the House and Senate budgets, it appears that millions of middle class and working families, people who are working longer hours for lower wages, people who have seen significant declines in their standard of living over the last 40 years, these people apparently do not need our help, rather they need to see a major reduction in federal programs that help make their lives, and the lives of their kids, a little bit better.

At a time when we have over 45 million Americans living in poverty – more than almost any time in the modern history of this country, my Republican colleagues think we should increase that number by cutting the Earned Income Tax Credit, affordable housing, and Medicaid. At a time when almost 20 percent of our children live in poverty, by far the highest childhood poverty rate of any major country on earth, my Republican colleagues think that maybe we should raise the childhood poverty rate a bit higher by cutting childcare, Head Start, the Child Tax Credit and nutrition assistance for hungry kids.

To summarize: the rich get much richer, and the Republicans think they need more help. The middle class and working families of this country become poorer, and the Republicans think we need to cut programs they desperately need. Frankly, those may be the priorities of some of my Republican colleagues in this room, but I do not believe that these are the priorities of the American people.

The people who deserve it? Would that include idiots like you?
Would include ALL workers who are abused and treated like slaves every single day while their rich bastard bosses get bonuses and new cars and homes while the workers struggle to pay bills and put food on the table. But you are a republican and as republicans do you think the rich deserve MORE wealth and tax breaks.
 
You unfunny conservatives scoff but honest populism is always a winner in the long-term. Going all-in for the plutocrats may end up being as bad a miscalculation as the Iran letter.

You want fewer poor kids, tell the poor to quit having crumb snatchers they can't afford to take care of. Simple enough. As for the rest, who gives a shit, the only one that has stolen from me is government to help dead beats support their kids, buy cars, houses, new air conditioners and many more things I won't bother to list.

Yes, republicans should proclaim that God likes their budget, maybe that will help their case that the poor should be dumped.

LOL your masturbatory visions of a right-wing fascist coup and subsequent degradation and humiliation of "undesirables" marks you as a total tea-party tool, go watch some wrasslin' and leave the political discussion to the adults.
