Republicans planned the fiscal cliff so that taxes on the middle class will be raised by default. In order to protect the rich from a tax raise, the Republicans are allowing taxes to be raised for EVERYBODY.
Republicans seem to be counting on the stupidity of the people of the US. Personally, I think they are overestimating our credulity.
As far as I can tell from reading about the so called fiscal cliff, the Republicans want to take from the poor to give to the rich. OVER THE LAST TWENTY YEARS, THE RICH HAVE BEEN GETTING MUCH RICHER AND THE POOR HAVE BEEN GETTING MUCH POORER. I guess the Republicans will not be satisfied until there is again starvation in the US. (If you think I exaggerate, you have not read the Republican plans to cut food stamps.)
ONE MORE TIME, the Republicans are using Christmas vacation as a blackmail tool. This is SO like last year that I re-read my blog on Republicans as the Grinch and/or Scrooge from December 2011.
The truth is that the Republicans want to spend money on military hardware that we no longer need in order to please the manufacturers of military hardware.
BTW, the new plan from the Republicans to cut the tax deductions on home purchase interest will totally destroy the fragile housing industry.
CEOs get HUGE raises while complaining about paying their workers. CEOs refuse to buy health insurance for workers, but insist that their health insurance lasts a lifetime, even if they get fired for cause.
Is this the kind of US that we want?
