| 95. The wealthiest 2% need their huge deficit raising tax cuts from expiring-Unemployment should expire |
|
Edited on Fri Nov-19-10 12:13 AM by LaPera
for the desperate poor, the richest corporate republicans tell us.
The TEN YEAR deficit raising tax cuts for the wealthiest have produced NO jobs for Americans - (But those same 10 year tax cuts that have made the rich so much richer, just as those same tax cuts for the rich have made our country poorer and deeper in debt).
Yet these same greedy republicans want unemployment insurance to expire for the poorest of poor and give hundreds of billions of our tax dollars to the greediest 2% who always want more and more and more......
These same greedy who don't want their billions of no job-producing tax cuts to expire on Dec 31st 2010.
But the rich do want the poorest unemployment insurance to expire ASAP!
