Reply #50: Excellent. I can't grasp why these tax cuts are sacred..

while the working folks are being run over by taxes, unemployment, and foreclosures.

As it is today: there is no firewall that can be called upon to shield working
Americans from: unemployment effects (once benefits run out), homelessness, paying
IRS while unemployed, and on and on.

Meanwhile (emphasis on mean) the banks and Wall Street just go to Paulson and
Rubin and are handed enough money to pay bonuses and to horde as well as to
acquire other banks!

Why is Obama protecting the rich at the expense of working people after all we
heard him say on the campaign hustings was how he'd roll back the
Bush tax cuts on the rich? He said it over and over--all the states, in the rain,
in the sun, in daylight and at night and on the TV.

Is this the result of having Robert Rubin, ex CEO of Citigroup, on the economic
team? Rubin is not about working America, never has been. We know Paulson isn't,
and these two have worked on the Citigroup bailout.

Ask yourself: why would Obama climb down on both the Bush tax roll back AND an
oil profits tax? Possible answer: he's doing Rubin's bidding and that of those
who contributed to him---he got more WS cash in the campaign than did McCain.

Are workers being sold out after all their hard work for Obama? Are they?

Did Joe the Plumber win this recent election?
