Everything should be on the Table.
Every Dollar.
That is the GOP-backed Message making the National Dialog circuit.
I just heard Morning Joe making his case:
Everything should be on the Table
The 3 big pots of Money are the Pentagon, Social Security and Medicare.
WHEN are Republicans going to cut budgets in these Big Three?
Their Math does NOT Add up!
Everything should be on the Table!
Oh Really? EVERYTHING?
If EVERYTHING should be on the Table --
What about putting those Bush Tax Cuts, on the Table?
What about putting Capital Gains, on the Table?
What about putting the Estate Tax, on the Table?
What about putting the FICA Tax Ceiling, on the Table?
WHY is it a given, that the Income side of the National Ledger, is OFF the Table?
Why is Raising Taxes so Untouchable --
While our current and future security, of ordinary Americans, are not?
Why are our working class interests On the Table --
When the interests of the Wealthy, the interests of Elites, the interests of Multi-national Corporations, are always OFF ?
Who is defending the interests of ordinary People?
Those are always the first to be sacrificed;
While the interest of Corporate America, are the first to be salvaged ...
Why?
IF, indeed -- EVERYTHING should be on the Table ???
I'm just asking ...
