That's practically bending the Dems over for what they stand for.
The thing is that the ideas that they are proposing (tea party) don't actually work. Trickle down economics does not work. Tax breaks for the wealthiest 1% does not work. What does work is having a smaller divide economically between the poor and the rich. In terms of both innovation, as well as quality of life, the smaller the divide, the higher those will be and vice versa. The problem is that the Tea party seems to have convinced the poor that they're their representatives, despite the fact that it is overly apparent that they are doing their utmost to serve the corporate interests instead of their constituents.
If this issue did not have the possibility of f'ing over the entire world, I wouldn't care so much, but these people (tea party) should be fired at the very least. Destroying America should not be on the agenda, but that's exactly what these morons are trying to do.

Tax breaks for everybody does work and the only tax breaks that has been put foreward since Clinton was across the board. What Obama wants is more money to spend. It won't help the poor by spending the rich's money. Obama hasn't done any good with borrowed money. Why would you think money taken from the rich would fair any better?
The poor's lot will only improve as the economy does. The government can't improve the economy. That takes the rich. Nobody has come up with a job creation model that doesn't take citizens with money in their pockets. Nothing else creates non-government jobs.
