Yes, poor middle class Snooki. Only making 10K an episode. (20 episode season).

And the Republicans are SUCH champions of the middle class and poor. Which is why they are against universal healthcare, Food stamps, improving public education, and pretty much every program that helps the middle class and the poor so they can use that money to stuff in the pockets of their wealthy corporate overseers.

If you have deluded yourself in to thinking that the Republicans are REALLY the party that has something to offer the middle class and the poor, I'd ask you what have they really done for the middle class and poor lately. They get you to vote for them by starting class warfare and harboring anger over gays, minorities, etc., but when it comes to delivering on any of those issues for their precious middle class they fail. Big time.

They DO deliver big time for companies like BP in the way of deregulation, tort reform, tax breaks for corporations.. all of which DAMAGE the middle and lower class...


But you keep right on voting for them, because they wouldn't make Snooki pay the $2 tax on fake and bake...

Middle class people go to tanning beds. The cost of going is going to increase due to the tax on them. That means less money in that middle class persons pockets. Or they have to give up doing something they like.

Then if that person stops going to the tanning bed due to the tax increase. The person that owns the tanning bed is going to have to let people go. Which means we now have people without a job due to the tax also.

You really dont see how that will affect middle class people

Then the cycle goes to the people that create the products the tanning bed business sells along with the beds wont be in such a demand and they could lose their job also

'

My post wasnt about snookie My post was about those in the middle class that it will affect.

Yeah the middle class can afford to pay higher taxes for but medical. Look at Canada right now and their uvh.

Republicans arent against helping people they are against people becoming dependent on those programs. They would much rather help someone be able to one day provide for themselves then to make them dependent on needing the gov to provide for them. Democrats want people to remain dependent on the gov because if they dont need the gov to provide for them there is no reason to vote for democrat.

Sorry but it is the democrat party that seems to have this war going on the rich are evil. The corp are evil. Tax those evil rich people they can pay for it. All while the taxes the democrats pass cost the middle class more. So please dont tell me the republican party is trying to make a class war.

Yeah Obama is been so tough on those evil corps hasnt he bailing one out right after another.

It's the German pronunciation.

Tanning is bad for you. Tax the hell out of it!
