The One Percent

[username]

I hate the 99% Occupy movement. I'm pretty sure they've relocated to shelters in the cold weather. One can only hope. Still, last I heard the democrats were proposing "increasing" taxes on those making over $1million. That's not the one percent and basically they were proposing taking taxes back to levels pre-George Bush tax cuts (on those earning OVER $1million). The republicans really DO seem like the party that wants to favor the rich. I heard Gingrich's tax plan basically amounted to some crazy tax CUT for millionaires while slashing middle income benefits in medicare, etc. If my family earned $150k or so, I'm pretty sure I'd pay more taxes (or lose benefits) under some of the current Republican proposals vs. what Obama is proposing. I think the tea party influence would fuck most middle to upper middle class wage earners. Yes, they'll cut some from the 47% who don't pay, but they'll take from the middle class and give, give, give to the millionaires.

Here's an article on Gingrich's tax plan. Really?
