If your opponent is the one identifying your leaders, YOU'VE WON!
They must be exceptionally scared that people who 'voted out the big spending Republicans' for the 'Can't say NO Democrats' may get a clue that it is really OUR money they're spending.
Even a High School dropout like me understands, the top 2%, or even the top 40% can't pay for all of this crap. It IS impossible! Even Math 101 makes it easy to understand.
It seems the only one actually trying to resolve this problem is the Fed Chairman and his cew, and he's having to run interference with Congress, who seem only to want to spend!
We're heading for 12 - 13.5% unemployment and going exceptionally fast to get there!
Simple math says 36% of $750,000 an employer makes, before allowable deductions, is $270,000 (initial taxable income). Raise this to 39.5% and it goes to $296,250 (once again, before allowable deductions). This is the equivalent of ONE employees salary, beginning wage for some.
If YOUR employer was forced to come up with that additional money for Federal Taxes (NOT included are any tie in or add on state increases), what makes you think he will add jobs? Or NOT lay-off people to cover his costs?
THIS group of employers makes up 80% of the jobs in the United States. Even AFTER allowable deductions, his family makes the same or more demands on his money as YOURS! If he has LESS, how can you have MORE?
So let's, by all means, Unionize, and rip the decreasing level of Dollars out of the hands of the Employer during a crisis!
This is where Unions show what they're really made of, just look at the Car Manufacturers. Let them go under, we'll give NOTHING back, even to save our jobs!
The Democrats will save us, after all they're beholden to our worker voting base, right - along with those welfare recipients, who we'll never let get past Poverty level income (but we'll allow more to get on the roles, and of course, we'll fund it for the first three years, then let the states take it over, just like the Medical plan to Insure our 45 million youth, Oh sorry, that's five years - another voting base)? And they've always had the University systems, cause they're dependent on those GRANTS and special funding projects.
Oh, what the HELL we're half way there (to Socialism), Let's 'GO ALL THE WAY'! I mean, after all,they're paying for it aren't they?
