Extending Middle-Class Tax Cuts

The White House has a web page about  Extending Middle-Class Tax Cuts. Here is the info-graphci form that article.

Elect Elizabeth Warren to the Senate and these kinds of tax cuts will be passed easily. Keep Scott Brown in the Senate and these tax cuts will be held hostage until billionaires get even bigger tax cuts. Do you see any reason why you should forgo your tax cuts, until the billionaires can get in line first and leave just crumbs for you?


If you would rather let the billionaires get in the line before you, what can you be thinking?

Of course Brown’s no vote will be bipartisan, he just can’t vote for this tax cut for some reason. I am sure he will find a reason when the time comes. He always does if it is something for the middle class.


Netanyahu Bows to Popular Pressure on Austerity – This Could Happen Here

The Real News has the story Netanyahu Bows to Popular Pressure on Austerity.

On Saturday Israelis once again poured onto the streets to protest austerity measures and demonstrate against the government. On Monday, the Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu decided to cancel some of the tax increases, but only after taking a major hit in the polls. The Real News’ Lia Tarachansky reports spoke to Lital Bar, a leading activist in the J14 movement that began last summer and saw two deaths due to self-immolation, and Professor Yossi Yonah of the Ben Gurion University who Co-Edited the movement’s comprehensive report entitled Another Way is Possible



After watching this video it becomes clearer why Mitt Romney and Benjamin Netanyahu get along so well together.

If you need any clearer picture of what life would be like if Romney became President, then look at what these Romney-like policies have done to Israel.
