Well Said


The other day when President Barack Obama spoke at George Washington University about the so called budget plan that republican representative Paul Ryan came up with, it was a breath of fresh air to hear him go after the greedy people that have brought this country to the brink of ruin.
The big banks and multi-national corporations haven't been paying their fair share of taxes like the rest of the American people over the years and Ryan expects the tab for the national debt to be picked up by old people and working people while the wealthiest Americans get a free ride.
Obama called the plan just what it is.
"That's not right," Obama said regarding where the burden would be placed with Ryan's plan.
Well said!
The ultra rich and the mega multi-national corporations need to pay their fair share as well while the real people who pump money into our economy should get a break for a change.
That is what needs to happen in the United States of America.
We live in the 21st century and the old ways of "Reaganomics" are passe'.
Out with the old and in with the new is what should happen if America is to rebound and give everyone a fair shake in life.
This is the 21st century, NOT the late 1800's when the robber barons were ruling with an iron fist and suppressing the American people in much the same manner as terrorist regimes do in other countries.
The people that actually support Ryan's ideology are a joke and need a heavy dose of reality of what the United States of America is all about.
Make the rich people pay their fair share (as Obama said) and tax the multi-national corporations as well and see what happens to the debt.
And that is what the facts are.
If the people on the top don't want to pay their fair share in America, then get the hell out of here.
Good riddance!
Go live over in a foreign land and see how that goes for them.
Pay up is what I say and do your part to help this country of ours prosper once again.
Former judge Oliver Wendell Holmes once was quoted regarding taxes... "Paying taxes are what we do in a civilized society."
Those are the facts.
Make the people who have the moolah pay up as well as the rest of us working folk in this country.
And one more thing... God Bless the unions and the hard working people and God Bless America!

  1. You are right - the problem with the GOP is that they are stuck in the past. They want to relive their old glory days. Well, those old days are long gone. It is time to move on and time for them to move over. Obama is back in the saddle and I couldn't be happier. He is in his element in campaign mode. This next year is gonna be quite a ride. I hope he hands the GOP their asses.
