Reply #2: Fighting for a return to the Gilded Age of the 1920

[bajamary]

Our entire nation is on the brink of having the rich make good on their decades long battle to overturn FDR's New Deal. I do not want to return to the GLory Days of the Gilded Age of the 1920's.

This is a battle between those that have "it" Big Bucks and Little Taxes If Any, and the rest of us, the 98% of Americans those of us who are middle class, working and poorer people of America regardless of color, race, religion or sexual orientation.

Threats by people, pundits and politicians will never make me support a candidate who clearly values those that have and not those of us who are not in the top income brackets on this planet.

Mr. Obama has chosen his true allies, the bankers and hedge fund kings and uber-wealthy who quite rarely pay taxes, or who pay such a small percentage of their income.

While the tax bill proposed by Mr. Obama and his Republican allies will actually raise the amount of taxes for those of us who earn less than $20,000. According to the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center, the only groups likely to face a tax increase are those near the bottom of the income scale -- individuals who make less than $20,000 and families with earnings below $40,000.

This support by Mr Obama of a tax plan for the rich and by the rich is beyond a line in anyone's sandbox. Enough is really enough.
