I've got one modest proposal. The Bush Administration was government by the rich, for the rich, and of the rich. The disastrous policies that the Bush administration pursued were at the bidding of the rich. From Hurrican Katrina to the war in Iraq to the billionaire bailout, the rich have robbed this country blind. It's time to get our money back.
We need to abolish all the taxcuts the rich have gotten since the days of Reagan. We have tried laissez-fair free market, trickle down economics. It has failed. We have tried giving all sorts of tax goodies to the rich. The rich in return have tried to turn this country into a massive sweatshop on top of a toxic waste dump.
The rich are NOT our friends.
The rich are not even loyal Americans. They only thing the rich love is our money. Tax the rich. Make them personally responsible for the damage they have done.
