So, you missed the fact that the middle class and the poor should not have needed to have the Bush Tax Cuts expire if they were only for the rich, eh?
I didn't say the Bush tax cuts were only for the rich, although the rich did get a much better deal than the middle-class and below. What I did say was that Democrats wanted to end the Bush tax cuts for the rich - you know, the tax cuts that only affected those making over $250k, and ended up having to raise it to $450, because Republicans didn't think those that make $250k are rich.
BTW...the Sequester was promoted and signed into law by Obama. In addition to that, the federal budget has not gone down a single dime, so the entire sequester is a fraud, and these cuts are being made to deliberately harm American citizens. At the behest of Obama.
It was agreed on by both parties for the mere purpose of not allowing it to happen. But Republicans, because they couldn't get what they wanted for the rich, decided they would rather screw the country. Then they went so far as to say it wasn't going to be that bad, I guess they don't think it's bad that seniors are going without meals, not as bad as having to wait a few hours to get on a plane.
Sucks to support someone who deliberately causes great pain for politics, but there you go. Obama should really stop it.
It sucks to support a party that only gives a damn about themselves and the uber wealthy and who don't do their job but instead make a vow to make their priority to bring the President down, regardless if it screws the country.
