   “The top 1% got 93% of the income growth”. That’s because they are job creators! True, they are creating the jobs in China and Bangladesh, but still…

   Republicans have proposed cuts to Medicare? What proposal is this?
   -
   As far as I can tell, Republicans are demanding that Obama propose all the spending cuts. They have not proposed any that I’m aware of.

   What a lousy little dump on top of that hill. No 1%er would live in that. How about Tony take a lesson from yesterdays Oliphant.

   They said they are sticking to the Ryan budget proposal which does cut Medicare.

   They are going to refuse any budget that doesn’t cut Medicare, but they’ll never propose one because they want to blame the Democrats. Obama’s proposal was a good, sound piece of governing that would be proven to help the economy and make a down payment on future deficit reduction. Naturally, Boehner said it was “not serious.” Because it doesn’t damage America enough?

    Why should the 1% have a lower tax RATE than everyone else?
    Why are people who are NOT in the 1% so protective of them having still lower tax rates?
    Most of the 1% have inhereted their wealth.
    Why aren’t more people who are not in the top 1% not more outraged by the fact that some politicians want to lower the tax rate on the extremely Wealthy while adding more tax burden to themselves?

    Frank Luntz and his jibber-jabber strikes again…..
    …………………….
    “As PBS put it, Luntz’s expertise is “testing language and finding words that will help his clients sell their products, or turn public opinion on an issue or a candidate.” In other words, propaganda.

    Here are some actual examples of Luntz’s fine work:

    Don’t say “oil drilling.” Say “energy exploration.”

    Don’t say “inheritance tax.” Say “death tax.”

    Don’t say “global warming.” Say “climate change.”

    Don’t say “healthcare reform.” Say “government takeover.”

    And don’t say “greedy, soulless multinational corporations who don’t give a damn about you.” Say “job creators.”

    But the bottom 47% got all the free stuff like food stamps, welfare, housing assistance paid for by the 1%.

    I’ve seen this exact scene. In Baja CA. A palace on a rocky hill, surrounded by peasant shacks. This is the Republican dream.

    @Ms. Ima

    The " bottom" 47%, so the elderly who paid into the system with the full understanding that their golden years would be covered, or the returning vets with war injuries shouldn’t look for the promises of our government.
    Because you and the rest of the self-righteous twits get your knickers in a bunch if a penny goes to help those in need unless they are rich.
    Well lets get rid of the dead weight the majority of whom are rebuppys in the south, or the Texan’s we need help governors or the rest of the conservo-crats who cry foul when their holyer than thou tax monies pay those in need but refuse to complain when they take more than they pay into the system.
    You and the uranis bus league really need to stop circling the faux noise black hole!
