When the only tool you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail... |

So it is with the Republicans. The only tool they have is taxcuts for the wealthy. That one tool will create jobs, bring in more money to our Treasury, balance the deficit, create more wealth, and solve most problems now facing our nation.
They have no other tools. So they look at every problem in the same way. They want to hit it like a nail. Medicare? Fix it? Sure, hit it with a hammer. Cut off the old bastards. Give them a coupon so they can go out shopping in their wheelchairs and diabetes, heart problems, and assorted disabilities. Insurance companies are just patiently waiting to give them good coverage for their government coupon. Just think of what great shape they will be in after rolling those wheelchairs around for about 10 miles.
April is the cruelest month and the hammer is a cruel tool. Either you are secure or you have already been hammered down is the only way you will escape the wrath of the hammer.

Message. IF TAX CUTS FOR THE RICH CREATES JOBS, then under GWB and the Republicans we should have had enough new jobs to have avoided the GREAT RECESSION> The tax cuts have continued under Obama and 2years later we are creating only the number of jobs that would occur after any recession.
Until you make the Blue Collars understand the TAX CUT MYTH, we go nowhere.
Honest Businessmen have said, Sure we will take the tax cut but it is not going to change our behavior our problem is no customers.
Tax Cuts will work if the rate is very high. DK Johnson had charts in yesterdays paper which show the top ONE PERCENT pay a rate of no more than 18 percent. Much lower than average Blue Collar.
Democrats must blow the mega phone on the right regarding taxes.
Corrected spelling

Not ALL of them. Some of them have a conscience. But not enough of them.
