Now you understand what happened to working people in the third world.

Borrowing to pay for tax cuts for the rich is similar to what happened in third world countries. Except in that case, the borrowing was often about giving actual cash to the rich. In this case, we are also giving borrowed cash to the rich in the form of corporate welfare.

Then, when times get rough, the rich take off leaving us with THEIR debt. Worse, the workers have to work for peanuts to pay off that debt. Worse times are coming. This is not a "fair deal," or a "new deal;" it's a raw deal. It is imperative that this "compromise" be defeated. Do it for our children!

1. The 52 million the VP of Afghanistan was caught carrying from Kabul to Dubai

came from US WAR MONEY.

That's where our cash is going.

2. Nobody ever pays any attention to corporate welfare

They're too busy checking Twitter and Facebook all day I guess.

All the major corporations get hundreds of millions each of tax payer subsidies each year so that they can expand and advertise American goods overseas.

GM just got a massive $45 billion tax break this year, on top of the bailout and not only will the GM corporate board members get big six digit Christmas bonuses this year, they won't have to worry about a big tax hit on those bonuses either.

3. No they are not to busy on face book where they spend their time at

is at grocery stores checking out whats in peoples shopping carts that they will use foods stamps on and scoping out the parking lots for welfare queen Caddies, after all the rich earned those bonus's where as the welfare queens have generations of welfare abuse. Sheeesh don't you listen to them? Corporate welfare is less then 1/1000 of a percent of tax dollars just ask any right wing nut. Besides there are more poor people in the country then there are rich so they have to be using more entitlements then the rich, remember wing nuts aren't good at math.

5. Because TV News lies

The propagandists know they fool many Americans - easily. The old PBS doc 'Betrayal of Democracy' laid it out well. I can't find it online anymore, PBS doesn't serve it now I guess and not on YouTube.

7. PBS used to be liberal but lately I've noticed they're as RW as any other network

Especially here in Texas... Bummer!

8. Agreed. I stopped donating

after they refused to air the award winning doc;
The Panama Deception
PBS said it was too unbalanced. But it WAS the lone counterbalance to the Bush1 propaganda machine.

They also justified the bogus Warren Commission Report on the Kennedy assassination. They shot a skull on a ladder that was full of chalk. Then claimed that because chalk puffed toward the shooter -the skull section would have blown back toward Oswald.

Also, the pro NAFTA side was almost as lopsided on PBS as in the mainstream media.

Done.

10. They're brainwashed that the Republicans are fiscally conservative n/t

9. Socialism for the rich and corporations

means the poor and what's left of the middle class pick up their bills. Such a deal for the rich and corporations.
