I agree with the PEN this time!

With the top 1% of the country now in possession of 30% of the wealth


of our economy, and with the federal deficit completely out of

control, it is time to let the misguided tax cuts for the wealthy

expire.

In the first place, they did not work. We were told that they would

stimulate the economy and create jobs. They did not. All the rich did

was hoard more and more of their money.



Secondly, what really stimulates the economy is when people who are

NOT rich have money to spend on the things they need. Yet the most

heartless members of Congress propose balancing the budget on the

backs of people who cannot make ends meet as it is.



Worse yet, the Republicans are threatening to shut down the business

of Congress until their most greedy constituents, the only ones they

represent at all, get to keep their reserved seat at the pig trough.

And it is the road to utter economic collapse and disaster. The last

time distribution of wealth was so unequal was just before the Great

Depression, and we all know how that turned out.



So let the overgenerous tax cuts for the wealthy expire. Enough is

more than enough.
