(1,370 posts)What's happening in "real time" are you serious? We've watched for over thirty years while the middle class continues to lose ground as the wealth in this country is redistributed. 16 million kids in this country go to bed hungry, our infrastructure is crumbling, our schools are underfunded, people are working longer hours for less money...
Dealing with the tax cuts on the wealthy wasn't a mere campaign promise, it was a core issue. And it's the reason why were still dealing with two economies in this country.
Here's a question for you SBM.. Why is it that an issue that has such a huge a impact on the welfare of the poor and middle class is relegated a mention in the President's State of the Union address six years into Obama's Presidency when the Republicans have the majority in the House and Senate while the corporate lobbyist created TPP is important enough that it's kept secret until they can fast track it through congress?
I patently await your brilliant political knowledge, feeling grateful for the outlet vast internet provides me.
