Twenty-five reasons to vote for Obama: #4--The Continuing Class War

A recent Gallup poll showed that nearly one in five Americans have been short of money for food in the last year.  Think about that--this means that if you went to your child's school to see a play, and thirty parents showed up to watch their little munchkins, six of them have been short of money for food in the last year, in the wealthiest nation in the history of mankind.

There's something a little bit fucked up about that.

And yet, Willard Romney and his minions would have you believe that if we just keep those Bush tax cuts, or better yet, reduce them even more, all will be well.  Or that if we just reduce regulations on the bastards of Wall Street--even though people going hungry is a direct result of their incompetence--that prosperity will fall upon us all.  And this is all done in such a way as to insinuate that the poor and the middle class just don't know any better and we just need to let our moral superiors take care of it.  As if the mother fuckers aren't already catered to enough.

Ever since President Bonzo fired over 11,000 air traffic controllers in 1981, in effect breaking the union, it has been all downhill for the poor and the middle class. From losses in pay, to losses in jobs, to losses in benfits (with the exception of the Clinton economy of the mid to late nineties), to losses in basic human services.  And yet any time some guy like me points this out, republicans scream "class warfare!"

Ya fucking think? 

They started the war.  We need to finish it, or else it won't be "tax the rich", it will be "kill the rich."

Peace,
