Default View From the Left

No one wants to go back to the confiscatory tax rates of the fifties, but taxes on the top two percent must go up.

The image being projected by the Republican Party is one that they will gut Medicare, privatize Social Security with no corporate contribution, and wipe out the Middle Class through their war on unions.

It has always been accepted as fact that the Republican Party is the party of big business. That has served our country well while the main source of corporate revenue was here at home. This has changed. Big business no longer has a stake in supporting a prosperous middle class here at home. I offer falling salaries as evidence. As further evidence our current generation of college graduates is called the "Ninja Generation". Ninja in this sense means no income no jobs.

All I ask is that you think independently. It was a strong middle class in America that rescued the world in the nineteen forties. Don't let it fall apart because of the greed of a few.
