(37,573 posts)after all, look at point 4. You say "Obama put money in the pocket of working people."
Well, how did he do that?
By keeping the Bush tax cuts.
Therefore, logically we should have supported the Bush tax cuts since they, too, "put money in the pocket of working people". And, of course, they are not at all progressive, but under the political reality, they were the best we could pass.
Uhm, political reality sorta depends on the national conversation. Somebody could perhaps influence that if he used his bully pulpit to promote policies that would help working people without being a windfall to the rich.
Instead, that friend of the rich, keeps saying things like "let's keep most of the Bush tax cuts" and "people who make $240,000 a year are middle class."
