Dear Folks,
We are told now that President Obama is going to "compromise" with the Republicans, "hoping" to get further "concessions" (sic ) on further taxing of the rich. This so-called compromise is absolutely hollow. Ordinary folk will lose help and money both in social security payments and medical help. This means loss of spending which is the basis of any recovery and loss of health aids and so more people going to costly emergency centers. Those of us, the 99% are asked to compromise with a Republican party that has sold its soul to the rich. We are to compromise with the l% who have grown many times wealthier in the last forty years whereas during that time the average family's adjusted income has gone up about five dollars. We are asked to compromise because the rich had a small income tax raise that was actually Bush's l0 year break for them. We are asked to compromise in the face of the great bank failures of 2008 whom we saved, in the face of the six richest banks now controlling sixty percent of our wealth and in the face of gas and oil companies who are now the richest corporations in history.
What kind of compromise is this?! Everyone, please write to the White House. Address the president at www.whitehouse.gov/contact.
