Have you been following the all the racket our congress in Washington and a few state legislatures are stirring up? I am especially overjoyed with the Tea Party in this mess. They have made sure that the big money gets their tax cuts, while they take their pound of flesh from the working man. Even worse, they take it away from the programs that will ensure that the U.S. has a strong future. Never fails. The rich get theirs in the wallet, and we get ours in the back. Those sneaky little 5 year olds, just waiting to waste big buck's money on early childhood programs and school lunches. The nerve of those little rapscallions. And then there are the handicapped!
I still can't believe that giving personal income tax breaks to millionaires will create even one new job. I don't know any millionaires, but I can't see a millionaire sitting at the kitchen table saying, "Oh Gladis, I'm glad I got this tax break. I think I will hire someone with this extra take home pay I got!" Get real!
Look, Congress, you have screwed up enough things. Keep your damn hands off my social security, and quite messing with our unions! As a former GM auto worker in Norwood, Ohio, I have enough problems.
That's my two cents. What's yours?
