So Rush Limbaugh is upset at the "Vitriol against the rich." Now, even though President Obama has agreed to go ahead with the Bush tax cuts for the super rich, Rush and his cronies are still crying class warfare. What gives? Is there nothing that will satisfy these nattering nay-bobs of negativity? What continues to amaze me is the sheep-like adherence of the Republican working and middle classes who insist on believing that the GOP is actually looking out for their best interests. Message to 98% of the American voting population: The GOP does not care about you and your measly tax cuts, they only want to protect the top 2% of earners. But because everything is so intertwined with class and culture and race, especially race, most voters refuse to see this. And the Republicans will continue to spin their web of lies about shrinking the size of government and growing the economy with tax cuts for the wealthy.
Yes, I feel sorry for Rush and his pals. Money is tight all around. And I have one question for them. If Jesus was making over a million dollars a year, do you think he would be upset at paying his fair share of taxes? Rush, what would Jesus do?
On a more somber note, with yesterday's passing of Richard Holbrook, America lost a great man. He will be greatly missed.
