Has not Cain perfectly articulated the 1%/GOP's 2012 proposition to America:"You want a job, right?"



Yep, the Republican Party has a message for working and middle class Americans:


. . . They are not satisfied with marginal tax rates on the 1% which are a small fraction of what they were under Eisenhower....

. . . They are not satisfied that a billionaire pays a lower effective federal tax than their secretary...

. . . They are not satisfied that they have financed these historically unprecedented tax breaks for billionaires by raiding the surpluses of the most fiscally responsible federal program of all time (the only one tt have built up a $2.3 trillion surplus, enough to pay beneficiaries in full until 2037 with no changes at all)....



The party of the 1% has a message for Americans.... THEY WANT IT ALL . . . . not just your (remember) pension, your 401K, your health insurance, your Social Security, your Medicare .... they aren't satisfied with never paying back the Social Security surplus they borrowed in order to finance unprecedented tax cuts for the 1% (even during simultaneous wars)....they now want working & middle class Americans to pay HIGHER taxes to keep the unsustainable tax breaks for the 1% bubble from popping.

And the party of the 1% have an additional message for the 99%:

They want you to swallow it all, and be grateful.




I think Herman Cain may have articulated what could become the most honest, most memorable Republican meme of the 2012 campaign, one that deserves to be memorialized in stone, and repeated daily until Americans go in those voting booths in November, 2012.


Perhaps it's poetic justice, but the Republican Party, the party of the 1%, has a high protein gift they expect Americans to swallow with gratitude, and Herman Cain may have summed up the Republican proposition to America in 5 words:


"You want a job,right?"






Cogitate on that for a while, America.

1. Reckon that's why they hate unions.
When the manager says to "Get low", they don't want any of those 'sexual harassment complaints' to deal with. They don't want any kind of regulations, union or non-union, that allows a body to resist or complain about an occasional groping here and there. It's a man's world, after all. Women should be submissive.

3. As Cain treats (assaults) women, so the GOP treats America.
