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. |

Do The Arithmetic
All the back and forth between the left and right about various ideas being floated in the area of budget-balancing is almost laughable. If it wasn't such a dire situation, it would be laughable.
All the soundbites being put out by the various politicians have little to do with what's really necessary to balance the federal budget and begin to whittle away at the national debt. Their soundbites are designed to appeal to various segments of the voting public, little else. The politicians from both the left and the right have done the aritmetic. They know how serious the fiscal problem is that faces us in the next couple of years. And in the end, they know what will be necessary to fix the problem. They may not like what's necessary--none of us will--but each and every one of them knows what will have to be done. Everyone's ox will be gored--the progressives will have to give up important social programs, the conservatives will have rto agree to increasing taxes, the hawks will have to get used to a lot less military power, the doves will have to get used to not being able to help every country or group that gets in trouble somewhere in the world. They may all fight it, but they know what eventually has to be done.

We really neet a VAT on everything and a cut in all the spending. That way everyone gives a little. If something is not done and done soon there will not be a United States.
We, you and me and the rest of the Americans are to blame for this mess. We did not watch those that we sent to represent us. If the rest of the world decides that the dollar is not going to be ther world reserve currency anymore, you live will change over night and the US will become a 3d world nation. |
