I am so sick of hearing the 1% argue why the Bush tax cuts shouldn't expire.

And I am so sick of so called news shows having members of the 1% on to argue such things.

What utter bullshit - today it was on the Diane Rehm show. It's everywhere, all the time - of course the MSM doesn't want people on who are part of those getting screwed to take part in the discussions. We are never represented.

Trickle down doesn't work

The 8 Bush years were a disaster.

When rich people get money, they only want more money. Greed seems to be a human problem that we are stuck with....

This is indeed class warfare, and "they" are hugely outnumbered. I hope the Dems realize this and play this to the hilt in all economic or election discussions from now until....forever. Something's gotta give.

they always do that. What we need them to do this time is to actually let them expire.
