The president, came out today and challenged the Republicans to pass the jobs act, to raise taxes on the wealthy as 81% of the American people are for, the Republicans replied that this is class warfare, going after rich people, big corporations hedge fund managers and all CEOs to ask them for shared sacrifice is not the American way. At a time when our country is in need of revenues closing tax loopholes for the rich is that class welfare. Our history has showed us that in times of crisis we all must pull together, if you believe in this country that all people are equal, that the rich are not above us but the same as you and me, there should be no debate on raising finances money for the people that are not as affluent or had the power to buy a lobbyist on their behalf.
The Republicans in Congress, the Senate and state offices across this country have all sworn an oath not to increase taxes, close loopholes. Grover Norquist is not an elected official, a public official, he is a lobbyist to have pledged to him for the interest of the top 2% that they will not raise taxes for as long as they are in office. Any time that the issue of raising taxes is presented by this president, this Democratic controlled Senate, the House Republicans will come out and say that this is class warfare. For anyone to believe this and anyone that supports this idea is just wrong. The people at the House of Representatives represent is not just the rich and big business but the 98% do not make lots and lots of money. The Constitution is the only pledge or oath that any public official should show any type of respect for. Votes in Congress should not be bought by anyone, this is a house of the people not a big business, not rich people, not special interest. Our government is of the people, by the people, for the people no where does it say we must support the money interest of this country.If you believe in the principles of our founding fathers brought to this country you would know that the only class in this country is Americans. Of all the places in the world we are one people one country one interest that the laws of this country are for all of us no matter what race creed or color.
The founding fathers brought to this country freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom to choose our way of life to vote for someone to represent us in the halls of government we pay these people with our tax dollars, with the trust of the people, to do the people's work. In this trust we only ask that the elected officials work for the good of all, not for the good of a few. Remember we're all in this together as a country, as a people, we are Americans we will prevail, no challenge is too great, too difficult or too hard to tackle, WE ARE AMERICANS. Check spelling
