NEWS FLASH:
The vote in the U.S. House of Representatives is final. The Tea Party Republicans have blocked a bipartisan bill to extend President Obama’s Payroll Tax Cut.
Now middle class Americans, Republican and Democrat, will see a tax increase of $1,000.00 plus on January 1st.
Our legislators are fighting to protect the top 1% of our country so they do not see a
tax increase yet 160 million middle class Americans will pay more taxes. So a tax
increase is OK as long as it does not affect the wealthiest.
How many laid off, struggling union members voted to put these righteous, egocentric
individuals in office? How many struggling middle class citizens will support them
AGAIN and take an additional beating?
Did you know that the House Republicans recently passed two bills which will eliminate the National Labor Relations Act?
Do you really think you will be better off when organized labor and collective bargaining are eliminated in this country?
