Repubs want to gain control so the rich can steal whatever they didnt take before....which aint much
If you have not noticed, the Republican party is getting a major face lift.
The primary elections are tossing out the incumbent Republicans, too.
People are tired of what is going on with both parties. A more right and more Conservative Republican party is emerging, from the moderate middle of the road stance they have had since Bush #1.
The Progressives coming out of the closets and removing the masks, have given the American people hope we can make the change, that we were looking for. Not an accelerated version of the past. Have you noticed, this is an anti-incumbent election cycle. The people will drain the swamp, now that the exposure has revealed the gremlins.
hopefully we will vote that embarassment out of office in two more years. until then, we'll settle for flipping congress and nutering that window licking, excuse of a president.
From 1980 to 2006 the richest 1% of America TRIPLED their after-tax percentage of our nation's total income, while the bottom 90% have seen their share drop over 20%.
That's a TRILLION dollars a year, one-seventh of America's total income, that went to the richest 1% while 90% of us went backwards.
But, many people ask, don't the very rich pay most of the taxes?
Just federal income tax.
And they pay less than 23% of their incomes in federal income tax.
If state and local taxes, social security tax, and excise taxes are included, the lowest-earning half of America pays 24% of their incomes in taxes.
The rich steal from the middle class taxpayer via TARP and all the other endless bailouts. It's the Democrats (along with some RINOs) who pass these bailouts. Then they lie to you and say things would be worse without the bailouts and you suckers believe it. The only way the financial elite won't steal any more of our nations wealth is if TEA party candidates win big and eventually take over government. Anything short of that it will be the same old same old looting of the shrinking middle class.
Sorry i do not see it that way, I see the problems that we have in Politics are on both sides of the aisle, and that Greed is something that does get in the way of performing the job to the higheset standards. Both sides are guilty of this, and neither party in my trutlful opinion are innocent.
The wealthy tripled their wealth under Bush - time to give some back

You work hard, you have every right to what you earn and if you invested right, good for you, that money is also yours.

It is a crime when the top 2% have stolen all their wealth from the middle class... Look at the foreclosure crisis...
