Why are the sacrifices made by the middle and working classes?

It's time for the wealthy to pony up. "Trickle down" was supposed to give more money back to the rich so they could "re-invest" in America, bolstering the economy while creating jobs. They didn't do it. They invested in jobs overseas and hid their new-found swag in secret, off-shore tax havens.

Same with the Bush tax cuts.

The rich didn't live up to their part ot the bargain. It's time for them to pay back what they took.

It's so simple you'd think the GOPers would understand...
