Obama is temporary. Our problem is that policies don't change from administration to administration. Our problem is that we have a systemic problem of entrenched corporate money and power in Washington, driving policy in both parties. And it just keeps getting worse.
When *Democrats* can look at this filthy deal, the guaranteed outcome of which is more austerity for the masses....when Democrats can look at the obscene offers coming even from our side, which tilt so heavily to the rich as to be laughable...
When Democrats can look at all this....look at the numbers and what will actually HAPPEN as a result of this deal.....and claim victory....
then we have a problem.
We have truly reached the stage of
War is Peace.
Freedom is slavery.
Ignorance is Strength.

$160 billion a year in tax cuts for the top 20%
$42 billion a year in tax cuts for the bottom 40%
clearly a plan that favors the rich
