NP - Sign Ant- Obama-GOP Tax Cut Petition

[Albert Rolls]

Do what the repubs do and stick to one's guns. A continuation of tax cuts for those earning under $200,000 (singles) or $250,000 (couples) but not above or no continuation of the tax cuts for anyone. If someone can pay $45,000 for a signed copy of Farina's first novel (on sale earlier this year and I wasn't even sad that I couldn't afford it, though that $1,500 Of a Fond Ghoul that appeared in 2009 broke my heart), I can pay a couple of thousand a year to thwart Republicans turning this country over to the right, who decry the deficit when those at the margins of the country are helped but not when the wealthiest are helped; who shout down socialism, which we aren't even near to having and apparently is willfully misunderstood by rightwing leaders (they can't be so stupid as to think what we're getting is socialism), in the name of Orwell (does anyone in America actually read Orwell, I'm left wondering?); and who push policies that have lead to the shrinking of the middle class and the increase of the poor, many of whom go out and vote for repubs anyway because they're against the "socialist" democrats.
