17 to go

A few weeks ago I blogged that the Congress while on recess could call an emergency session and pass tax rate reform immediately. My plan was to have the issue that all agree with, 98% of America, protected under the current rates from the Bush era, and leave the disputed 2% for a debate after the election or once a new Congress was convened. Seems reasonable to me. Both parties, instead of showing concern for the people, balked, held fast to their inflexible positions and went home to campaign, leaving the rest of us to remain worried and disconcerted. Well guess what, Mike Pence, one of the self-annointed Republican leaders said the same thing, calling for an up or down vote, with one big exception...include the wealthiest Americans and add an additional unpaid for 700 billion dollars in debt. This is the Republican party way. While it asks for your votes, complaining about deficit reduction and unchecked Democratic spending, it calls for an irresponsible and unneeded debt expansion. In the last 17 days before the vote, this is what Americans must understand. Your anger toward the Democrats and assumptions that the party of the rich is looking after you, just ain't so. You must pay attention. Where are you Americans for reason and truth?
