Recovery Plan passed, now for the Budget-Listen up Elitist

While we may listen to those ,rich,media controlling elitist whine and complain because starting in 2011 their tax rate(those folks making more than 1/4 million $ a year) will go back to the old tax rates from 10 years ago,we don't have to fall for that trick.
How about we do some straight talk to them as well as our neighbors ,blogs , the media and anyone else who will listen ?

Okay so listen us those of you making income of 1/4 million $ or more...

You are NOT receiving a tax increase.....for the last 10 years you have gotten

a free tax break.

You have been allowed to make all you wish and still pay at

old tax rates ,thanks to Ronald Reagan...well these tax rates are scheduled to expire in 2011 and we will let them expire,as was always planned .

So why try blaming President Obama and the new Budget outline? This is the usual trick you like to play , "Oh,woe is me with my rich self what shall I do with all the money I made while the economy appeared strong and I was not paying my fair share ? How could anyone expect me to pay what I actually owe? "

Well , you should be paying fairly the media may provide you and the Republicans with air time to for this tripe but I don't have any time for that sad song.

At first I wanted to know why wait until 2011 ? Why not roll back those tax cuts now, so you can add a few billion in taxes to our reduce the deficit starting this year?

Then I shook myself and realized ,President Obama knows what he is doing and doesn't need me or you second guessing him. He was elected because of his intelligence,vision and fresh ideas including affordable health care for us all , so let's help him to succeed.

At some point it should be realized that we are all in the same boat, some are rowing and pitching in with all our might while some of you are shirking and standing up rocking the boat "For philosophical " reasons which don't matter a hill of beans while we are in this mess. Your philosophy got us in this mess while you made millions now it is time for you to pay your fair share.

Bobby Jindal and others are making a huge mistake by trying to punish the people in their states who need assitance most by biting the hand trying to feed them. Wonder why any politician even the mis-guided Republicans can believe that all those unemployed contituents who need those extended unemployment benefits will appreciate them saying no , go hungry. Using the flimsy excuse tha taking this assistance "could" ,"might", possible cost the states money at some point in the future. How about worrying about the people depending on you for help NOW! How about worrying about your own responibilities to your home states ahead of your own political future? Or better yet and here is something you might understand,starving people have long memories and you will have a hard time getting elected as dog catcher after serving them that famous "Let 'em each cake " attitude toward the suffering and their families.

What can we do ?

1. Well, raise your voice in support of the new direction our President's Budget outling taked toward a Country taking better care of its fiscal responsiblities?
2. Start by mentioning the honesty of this budget where for the first time in decades it actually shows true $$ amounts for military spending.
3. Continue by explaining why it will help pull us out of recession/depression by finally attacking the overwhelming health care issues effecting us all.Did you know the huge % of money spent on preventable illnesses, as well as , the % of $ allocted to healthcare by small businesses and still it is usually partial coverage at best. Extending Cobra benefits with this huge % of the population unemployed and without health care only makes since.
4. Tell them why the additional funds allocated for assistance to our Military returning home from war , who have more than earned continuing health care, education benefits and yes clean ,safe housing.We owe them that for their sacrifice.

I truly believe with enough of us chiming in on behalf of the full agenda of President Obama we can make a difference. Just like during the early days of the election process when we were told he didn't stand a chance . We knew better! We could see that he is blessed with the attributes which make him the man for this particular time in our Nation's history! He can do it with our help.
