Reply #57: Not to mention the middle class is evaporating at a pace where these tax cuts will be for no one [View All]

[MessiahRp]

People don't need eventual, end of the year cuts on federal taxes they are too poor to pay into, they need substantive help NOW like cash assistance (Unemployment Benefit Extensions as well as TANF), major increases in Section 8 assistance and Energy Assistance for this upcoming Winter. They need jobs. Real jobs not just construction ones but jobs for everyone else as well. They need the Government to be creative about stopping the mass offshoring going on whether it be by killing free trade agreements of taxes/tariffs with an additional setup to prevent price gouging customers a certain percentage over cost (so they can't take their penalties and push them onto consumers).

These companies take for granted that billions of American consumers are just theirs to market to all the while feeling zero responsibility to employ any of them or work for a better society together. Capitalism eliminates societal responsibilities in the name of unbridled greed.
