If I don’t know anything else, I know that, if the 3.1% payroll tax cut advanced by the Obama administration is not passed, I will find a way to cut my personal spending by the amount necessary so that I create the tax cut for myself. There was never much of a future in spending money. Now the ONLY future is in saving it.

The only coalition necessary is people who wouldn’t vote for those Republican turkeys ever again.

The title of this post is surely aimed at this piece from the nyt.

“All pretense of trying to win a majority of the white working class has been effectively jettisoned in favor of cementing a center-left coalition made up, on the one hand, of voters who have gotten ahead on the basis of educational attainment — professors, artists, designers, editors, human resources managers, lawyers, librarians, social workers, teachers and therapists — and a second, substantial constituency of lower-income voters who are disproportionately African-American and Hispanic.” T Edsell

“At some point WE’LL RUN OUT OF OTHER PEOPLES’ MONEY! Sorry Dems, there’s no way around that truism”

Except, as usual, there is nothing true about it.

a] it isn’t “other people’s money” when the public legally decides they owe it in taxes.

b] it is not running out. Those who have by far most of the wealth in this country are just sitting on trillions of dollars which they are not investing in America.

I live in Scranton. The problem in Scranton and other cities alike are due to our government’s handouts. Regardless of race and gender, when people receive handouts they aren’t going to work. Cut unemployment, drug test welfare recipients, get these drags-of-society to work so they can be taxed like the rest of us working class people. Upper, middle, lower-class shares no relation to the subject. People should have to work. If everyone worked the government would generate more taxes and can balance out the tax to income ratio more efficiently. To gain votes in the Scranton area, Obama should tell the people when you lose your manafacturing job I will pay you unemployment for 99 weeks +. He will gain their votes. People of America have lost our ancestors dignity of working-class. If I were president I would make welfare recipients and unemployed compensated workers clean streets to have an E.I.

U.S. Congress not needs any more REPUBS working for their own parties but; U.S. citizens who work for our country.
In Congress we need American citizens that apply the law and taxes on all Americans and corporations without distinction; but not only terrorize U.S. citizens of middle-class, carrying all the weight of taxes on his shoulders.
Not anymore REPUBS to exploiting and enslaving the working-class, but paying a fair wage for their work.

Why REPUBS are not supporting our President Mr. Obama, the INCENTIVE TO OUR ECONOMY Plan?
In 3 years from Barack Obama Administration, U.S. ECONOMY is GROWING STRONGLY THAN EVER BEFORE!
Now U.S. citizens know what the interest of REPUBS are, so in 2012 nobody can beat OBAMA.

Pennsylvania voters have not forgotten how Obama went to San Francisco and told those wingnuts how the people in PA were clinging to their guns and Bibles. He is two-faced, and the most radical politician to inhabit the WH since FDR.

“You think the Democratic Party cares about wealth? Come on. In their minds, George Soros spending his money to help out his political views is noble, but the Koch Brothers are evil incarnate. Higher taxes are good, but no one will complain if Tim Geithner or Charlie Rangel cut corners on paying them. One might be tempted to argue that the righteousness of unions represent an inviolate principle to Democrats, but in New York, Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo is trimming here and there and living to tell the tale. No, the party really is about identity politics now; us vs. them. And everybody knows which side they’re on.” – Jim Geraghty

So what do we label the people who work everyday (often more days and more hours) that make the really big money? You know, the people Obama’s got his hand out to for $35,000 per plate at his New York fund raiser tonight. Are they not part of the “working class” or “working families” as the Democrat party are so quick to label? Enough with the class warfare stuff. Come election, you will be evaulated your policies and what they have done to the economy and your divisive rhetoric. You are nothing like the “uniter” you so stridently tried to sell to the unwitting masses four years ago.
