Remember Solyndra?

Do you remember Solyndra?  This is the solar panel manufacturer that went bankrupt after receiving hundreds of millions of dollars in government money.  The Obama administration was blamed for the program.  Loosing and wasting your tax dollars on left wing liberal projects that were supposed to help lower our carbon foot print.  So, was it really as bad as you remember?

This is a short post in reply to a FB post where I'm talking about how peoples views are often distorted by misreporting and out right lying by not only Fox News but most media outlets.  To often people latch on to this stuff and don't let go.  I still hear people make comments about Solyndra and frankly most people have no real clue what happened or even what "Solyndra" was.  They just use it as a "buzz word".  When people bag Obama there are a few "go to" terms.  Solyndra! Benghazi! Obama Death Panels!

The reality is most often very different from the shit that is in people's heads.  Yes "shit".  It is a very apt word to describe the "information" it is largely all the stuff that wasn't useful and probably just out right fake.  Much like what you flush down the toilet every day from your previous days meals.

Did you know that the program that gave Solyndra money was supposed to loose hundreds of millions of dollars.  $780 million dollars has been lost by 4 companies including Solyndra.  The Department of energy factored into the loan program these types of losses.  The whole program was supposed to loose money over all.  The costs was deemed acceptable because of the innovation it was expected to spur.  So Solyndra lost about 528 million dollars.  Three other companies folding lost the program another 150 million dollars.

Before I go on let me talk a bit about the DOE's renewable-energy loan program.  Normally we would hope that private equity providers, like Mitt Romney has made so much money off of, would be the source of funding for programs like this but people like Mitt Romney don't like these "risky" investments do they.  He doesn't actually like investments full stop when you talk about building up companies.  He's more for going in, transferring debt then dumping or dismantling the companies.  So the government had to step in.  The government has been doing this type of stuff for a long time.  Obama's administration isn't the first and it certainly won't be the last to issue loans like these.  Hell the banks get loans like these all the time from the government and they loose hundreds of billions to trillions of dollars.

Anyway what is the state of the renewable-energy loan program that was budgeted to actually loose money.  Well turns out that the program is going to make any were between 5 and 6 billion dollars.   Not bad aye.  Have you heard Fox News or any other news organization talk about that?  Did they explain that the program was supposed to loose money but ended up being a bit of a cash cow?  Probably not.  Doesn't work well with the view that the vocal right wing want to push that Obama wants to destroy America.

Right wing extremists more dangerous then Muslim extremist!

Almost 2 months ago I did a post on face book, April 16th if anyone wants to verify it, that talked about how right wing white extremists, are a much bigger threat to Americans then any radical Muslim organization.  We've been hit again by white right wing extreme tea party members wanting to spread their message that they want to take over the government and will kill anyone that stands in their way.  Just a few days ago 2 police officers and a third innocent person lost their lives to right wing nuts.  Now let us just ignore the stupidity of the laws and lack of laws with regard to gun possession because, honestly, if you want to preach about your second amendment rights then go fuck off and join a well regulated militia because you, and I hold no respect for your ideas, most likely have never even read the Second Amendment for yourself.   When you actually know those topics which you try to defend your position with then, and only then, will I consider engaging in a conversation with you.  Until then I would get better responses from a 2 year old on the topic of quantum mechanics then I will with you about your rights to bare .

So now with those people that have no clue about their actual rights pissed off and gone let me talk to those of you that are still here consider yourself "conservative" and republican, but have common sense.  Again I'm not talking about gun regulation here.  That is another topic.  What I want to talk about is you taking control of your political movement and parties.  You actually being constructive with your involvement in government.  You actually condemning the extremist the lurk all around you.  Because by being silent and wishing these people just didn't exist you contribute to their voice.  By not calling them out you lend credibility to there views.  The number of "conservatives" that I see supporting and/ or justifying stupidity by those within their ranks simply because you share some label is stupid in itself.  Now it is hard to justify and support the killing of those 3 innocent people but what about those at the Cliven Bundy ranch?  What about those of you that support him?  Do you really know what that was all about?  I've talked to a few "conservatives" that said they did but their ignorance on the matter of which they claimed to understand and support was shocking.

The rest of the world, and again to many "conservatives" forget there is a big ass world outside their little bubble, looks at America and shakes their head in horror and the vast majority of it is because of stupidity that comes from a small vocal minority within the conservative base.  So forget the fact that I can't talk to 4 people, outside of the USA, without finding that at least 3 of them thinking that what is happening with the right wing is crazy.  Forget about the opinions of others.  How about actually doing something.  How about doing more then sharing a post saying you support the troops or [insert patriotic meme here] or [Share if you remember what manners are].  Fine if you want to do that but you know what is really important calling out those that might fall under your big tent but are clearly as crazy as Charles Manson or those that follow him.  Reclaim your party.  Call your politicians out when they don't want to label something as "domestic terrorism" because it was 2 white people doing it, but if they even think someone had any Arabic looking traits they'd be screaming it from the roof tops.

Basically don't be a hypocrite.  You want to bag Obama? Fine I can give you lots of material you can work with and if you read through many of my posts on this blog you'll see it for yourself.  But at the same time you can't remain silent about the extremist views others in your party are shouting all the time.  Because at the end of the day if you don't call them out eventually one of them is going to do something that hits a little to close to home for your liking.  You shouldn't want to be one of the people that could have made it clear as a "right wing conservative" you don't support their unpatriotic and immoral world views even if they call themselves right wing too.

Mitch McConnell, GOP Hypocrite Grand Wizard and Senate Minority Leader.

Mitch McConnell, Republican leader in the Senate is complaining that Alison Grimes who is running against him in Kentucky has received some funding from out of state, notably from some Hollywood people like Leonardo DiCaprio, Cameron Diaz, Ben Affleck, J.J. Abrams, Steven Spielberg, Danny DeVito, Jack Black, Jennifer Garner, Mike Myers, James Cameron, Jon Hamm and Nicolas Cage to name just a few.  She raise $250,000 from these people.  Now you can ask why they care if they aren't from Kentucky she is taking their money.  But then you'd have to realize that Mitch McConnell got about $16,000,000.00 from out of state.  That is 80% of the money he has raised.  So apparently  to the leading GOP Senator  raising $250,000 from individual citizens is worse then him raising $16,000,000.00 from bank executives that he does everything he can to keep them from getting in trouble when they break the law.
Who are you more worried about having an adverse influence on politicians.  Cameron Diaz or someone like Winfried Bischoff, CEO of Citigroup in 2008, who thought it was a good idea to use federal bail out money to give over $3,500,000,000.00 in bonuses to executives.  Bonuses ... to executives that played a major role in the banking collapse.
This is just one reason I say Fuck the GOP.  This is like Ted Bundy criticizing me for bumping into someone on the street.  As Jon Stuart says these GOP members just live on Bullshit mountain and not in the real world.
This old white man needs to be booted out of office.  I would love to see some new faces take their place.

How about this ... let us get fucking big money out of politics all together.  http://www.wolf-pac.com/ is an organisation not funding politicians but funding the fight to reclaim real citizens rights.  Almost all Americans agree that the federal government is being destroyed and control by corporate and big money donors.  We need 33 states to call for an amendments convention of the states.  We have 1 state down 32 to go.  Because corporations are not people.  Unfortunately they are treated better then people.  They don't get in trouble when they break the law like we do.  If I steal a few hundred dollars I'll be arrested and serve some time in jail.  If a national bank defrauds millions of Americans for hundreds of millions of dollars no one goes to jail and at worst they are hit with a fine of just a small portion of the money that they've stolen.

Go and see how you can help

Should Obama be put on trail?


You know why I say right wing zealots are crazy?  Because they are.  They try so hard to throw up a smoke screen and hope you have forgotten the past.  Sadly many right wing followers conveniently forget the past in support of their zealots.  Both GOP politicians and the slew of conservative "journalist", an I use that term VERY loosely, are calling for Obama to be brought to trial left right and centre.   Pete Santilli has called for the arrest, trial and shooting of both Obama and H. Clinton.  Specifically he says that she should be "shot in the vagina".  He claims that the hunt for Bin Laden was fake and says that the Obama administration had Seal Team 6 killed to silence them.

 Today the 2 reasons people are calling for the arrest of Obama are the IRS and Benghazi.

Let us look at the IRS "scandal".  How could Obama's administration use the IRS to target political opponents?  How can we stand for such a thing!?!?!  Well ask how you have probably stood for such a thing for as long as you have been alive if you are anywhere around my age.  You can go back even further then the 70s too. My only complaint here is that the IRS is targeting organisations disproportionately.  Many of these applicants for tax free status blatantly break the laws by involving themselves in the political process.  You might thing "Well why can't a not for profit organisation be politically involved?" and I say "IT IS THE FUCKING LAW!".  Put out of your mind left or right wing politics here. Read te 501(c) regulation.  What they are allowed to do in the political arena is very restricted.  I say the IRS hasn't gone far enough.  Many 501(c) organizations  on both the left and right, organisations need to be closely looked at because they are bucking the system and breaking the law by involving themselves in elections inappropriately.  Now is it ok for a church to provide transportation so people can vote?  Sure just as long as they aren't restricting that transportation to only people that vote one way.  Can a church or other 501(c) endorse a candidate   NO, no they can't because that is against the regulations that they agreed to when becoming a not for profit organisation.  If an organisation wants to endorse a candidate then fine...they need to give up their 501(c) status and not only for the election cycle.  If you don't think it is fair then go complain to a baseball umpire that it is unfair that some batter only got 3 strikes before they where out.

  So ask yourself why you where not up in arms when Bush sent the IRS after the All Saints Episcopal Church in Pasadena, California right after Pastor George Regas condemned the war on Iraq.  Or why the NAACP all of a sudden got audited right after they criticised Bush? Ask yourself why you aren't upset that Bush's administration had the CIA investigate Professor Juan Cole not once but twice simply because he criticized the war and has a voice that people listen to. These are not isolated incidences either.  There a numerous incidents where this has been done , not only by Bush and Obama but, for the last half a century.

  Next let us look at Benghazi.  4 Americans killed and that is a tragedy.  But let us put that in perspective.  Working at embassies is a risky career.  Bush had 13 separate attacks on U.S. consulates, offices and embassies in his 8 years 10 of which resulted in 98 people dead.  I'm also leaving out all the attacks that happened at our embassy in Baghdad during the Bush administration.  Forget Bush go to the GOPs idol Reagan.  A large number of terrorist attacks that happened under his administration occurred without any of these "journalistic organisations" complaining but they occurred without a response by the administration.  I'm not saying that Reagan's White House didn't have any response on the days following the attacks.  There were no responses EVER.

  So the next time you feel like supporting someone calling for the arrest, conviction and shooting of Obama or H. Clinton ask yourself what you think should be done to G.W.Bush given that 3 months before 9/11 he got annoyed by a CIA briefer reading him a memo titled "Bin Ladin Determined to strike in US" and Bush responding ""All right. You've covered your ass, now.".  What ever Obama did or did not do that might have contributed to Christopher Stevens, Sean Smith, Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods's death must pale in comparison to what we know Bush did that resulted in 2,977 people dead on 9/11.  At the bottom of this post  is a list of those that died because of Bush's incompetence.

  Strangely enough the most damaging thing to come out, in my opinion, is what I consider the overreach by the Justice Dept obtaining the phone records of AP journalist.  In a time where real journalism is becoming an endangered species this is more damaging to our constitutional rights then the altering of words in sound bites over Benghazi and the IRS targeting 501(c)4 organisations for closer scrutiny.

Downward spiral of civil rights in the USA!


Do you remember Maggie Carranza and Emma Hernandez, her 71 year old mother? No?  Let me refresh your memory.  LA police are on a man hunt for Christopher Dorner driving a grey Nissan Titan.  Christopher Dorner is a 6 foot tall, 270 pound man with a shaved head.  They then fire over 100 rounds at a blue Toyota Tacoma with out even knowing who was in the vehicle.  Well good thing the LA police seem to be shit marksmen because of those 100+ bullets only 2 hit anyone in the truck.  Thankfully Emma survived being shot in the back twice by police that couldn't even attempt to clear a vehicle of 2 older women delivering newspapers.  I know Dorner killed one police officer and attempted to kill a few others but how does this give the police free rein to not only shoot up a vehicle that doesn't even match the make and model  or even brand of the suspect but also ram another vehicle off the road, also nothing like the suspects vehicle.

Just recently Boston gets put into lock down because of the hunt for Tsarnaev.  Houses searched with no warrants.  Now I imagine many people might have consented to the searches but what about those that believe in their 4th amendment rights? 

It seems a whole slew of people over at Fox support throwing out just about every constitutional amendment, minus the 2nd amendment.  God forbid the government should require back ground checks for people wishing to buy a fire arm but torturing people before they even get a trial...that's ok.  They even backed New York state senator Greg Ball's tweet that Tsarnaev should be tortured BEFORE any trial.  Not that torture after a trial would be any better.  Which for you following along means no 8th amendment.

Anne Coulter thinks that Katherine Tsarnaev should go to prison for wearing a Hijab. Really?  How does wearing a certain type of clothing constitute a felony?  Just because you don't like the religious display doesn't mean sweet fuck all.  I'm an atheist could I expect that any Jewish person wearing a kippah be incarcerated?  What if some Indian woman has a bindi?  Christians, should they get 60 days of hard labour for wearing a cross?

For Dzhokhar Tsarnaev many, but not all, at Fox News seem to want to completely throw out the 4th through 8th amendment.  This is because they are either complete morons or complete fuck tards.  My guess is a bit of both.  I don't care if Dzhokhar is guilty.  He still has all those rights.  Throwing them away doesn't really change what should happen to him, in a civil society, it changes us.

Now they, a few at Fox, are trying to back peddle a bit with their bigoted and idiotic statements.  But just as the Michigan democrat that called one of her colleagues an "arrogant nigger" then trying to claim her comment is ok because she has "eaten Thanksgiving dinner with black friends at their house.” The slight back peddle doesn't change their overall view.

They claim to be for smaller government unless it means that people they don't agree with might get rights they have, like the right for gay couples to get married.  They are for controlling the reproductive health of women. They are for restricting religious freedoms, as long as it isn't their religion being restricted.  They are for torture despite the fact it has been shown to be not effective in obtaining any useful information.  We can't just blame them though because they prey on the fears of many Americans and unfortunately many American's, like many people in other parts of the world, are narrow minded bigots that believe in the American way but only if you believe exactly like they do.

No matter how many people want Tsarnaev to face the death penalty doesn't change the fact that he deserves a fair trial.  The fair trial isn't just for him.  It is for us.  Not only so we can claim the moral high ground but so we don't need to be fearful of a government coming after us when we find ourselves in a time where our political views don't match someone elses.

It is a very slippery slope we find ourselves on.  Our civil rights being slowly taken away.  In the end, every time we give a bit more of our liberties up we give up a bit more of what it really means to be Americans.

The truth and facts that are missing from Fox "News"

  I say "The truth" but really it should be "All truth" almost.  Fox News is a blatant spin machine that lies, distorts and insinuates more then it actually reports.  Their latest target is Al Gore and his sale of his "Unsuccessful" cable news channel, Current TV,  to Al Jazeera.

  First lets look at the general tone of their "reporting" and I use that term in the loosest of manners.  The claim Current TV was a failure but in the same breath admit that it has made Al Gore a lot of money.  The sale was on the order of $400,000,000.00.  They didn't make a loss so ... that seems to me like it was not a failure but a success.  They accuse Al Gore of avoiding capital gains tax but the sale was in January not December so will incur the higher capital gains tax.  They claim that Al Jazeera is just a anti American news agency.  I'd argue that Al Jazeera is just a real news agency that doesn't let its reporting get skewed by politics.

  Lets look at Al Jazeera.  Is it anti American?  It is a state owned organisation.  That state being Qatar.  For those of you that don't know Qatar holds our largest military base in the region and it is where we've launched 2 wars from.  If you want "Friends of America" Qatar is the place to be in the region.  Something that Fox "News" doesn't understand or more exactly is hyper hypocritical about is that actually reporting the news, regardless of how it makes any particular political group look, isn't unpatriotic.  It is called being unbiased and journalism.  Something Fox "News" knows nothing about.  Fox News called anyone protesting against the Tea Party or GOP as "un American" or "unpatriotic" because they were against the current administration back during the Bush era.  But when crazy people ask to secede because their candidate lost both the popular and electoral vote Fox "News" sided with them.

  When a journalist points out that a government is responsible for the deaths of children, innocent civilians or even torture against prisoners they are doing their job as journalist.  The fact that so many American's want to stay ignorant to the facts doesn't make Al Jazeera "anti-American".   It makes Al Jazeera a reputable news organisation and makes those "Americas" ignorant fucktards.  Unlike Fox "News", Al Jazeera is not a political spin machine for the GOP or any other political party.  By actually reporting the news and not distorting it they'll challenge their viewers to question their political beliefs at times.  Something Fox "News" can't understand.  Much like a Young Earth Creationist can't fathom the bible not being 100% literal and "True" those at Fox "News" can't fathom anything the GOP does as much less then perfect.  Both groups are highly deluded and wilfully ignore the facts to keep their world view.

  This isn't just my opinion of Al Jazeera.  Just the English arm of Al Jazeera has won many more journalistic awards then Fox "News" could ever even hope to.
http://www.aljazeera.com/pressoffice/2012/04/2012416161854868952.html
Recently this included the Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award, Grand Prize .

  Fox "News" ties to make its viewers, who are ignorant, scared because "Al Jazeera" sounds like some evil rag head propaganda machine.  The fact is "Al Jazeera" means "The Island".  It is a state run organisation but before people freak out the B.B.C. is a state run news organisation.  So is the Australian run A.B.C.  All these state run news organisations have, on many occasions, shown that their journalism isn't compromised by the state that owns them.  Unlike the majority of "journalists" at Fox "News" who constantly bow to the political views of Rupert Murdoch and other   member of the Board of Directors.  Fox "News" tries to scare its viewers by telling them that Current TV is now owned by non Americans.  This coming from a "News" organisation who is run by an Australian and second largest owner is Al-Waleed bin Talal, a Saudi Prince.

  Last point I want to enlighten people to is Fox "News"'s implication that Al Gore sold Current TV to Al Jazeera when their were other competing offers and hold up Glen Beck as an example.  First off Glen Beck is good at what he does.  Which is scaring his ignorant listeners into being even more ignorant morons all the while making bucket loads of money doing it.  But his offer failed for multiple reasons.  One is on principal.  Al Gore didn't want Current TV to go to a spin doctor with no journalistic integrity.  Two, by Glen Beck's own admission, it wasn't a serious offer.  They didn't have the money to buy it.  It is kind of like complaining that your neighbour wouldn't sell their house to your kid just because your kid didn't have the money to buy it.  Fox "News" makes it sound like there was a better offer out there and Al Gore wantingly sold Current TV to an evil organisation to help destroy America.

  Fox "News" does a great job at what they do.  They feed their viewers just what they want.  Fear  mongering to ignorant people that believe that anyone that holds any idea they don't agree with are the lowest from of life known.  Mean while the rest of us appreciate actual journalists that challenge our world views.  Exposes the social and political injustices of the world and help make our world a better place by broadening our understanding of the true nature of our society.

GOP on women's health

Richard Mourdock, who is running for the U.S. Senate in Indiana, says that pregnacy resulting from rape is "Something God intended"

I wonder how he would feel if it was his wife or his daughter that was the one that was raped? Or like Scott DesJarlais, a Tennessee 'Pro-Life' congressman and doctor, that pressured his mistress into getting an abortion then thought it was a good idea to tape the conversation and have his wife listen to it as proof of his commitment to her. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/10/10/scott-desjarlais-abortion-pro-life_n_1953136.html

Don't get me wrong.  There are women that love the children have resulted from acts of rape.  But no woman should be required to endure the mental anguish that could be associated with being forced to carry that pregnacy to term if they do not choose too.

Regardless of your belief or disbelief in a god or gods pregnancy is a biological function.  That the rape can result in a new person but the thought that a god wants the rape victim to get pregnant is an absurd thought.   If you think that then you have to ask what this god's intention where 1 in 4 women have at least 1 miscarriage in their life time.  You have to ask yourself "If God intended a woman to get pregnant and has direct responsibility for the pregnancy then why did this same God allow the violent act of rape on the woman to occur?".  You know who is responsible for that pregnancy?  The rapist!  Just like if they give the woman an STD or AIDS.  That isn't 'God' intending the women to get a STD or AIDS.  Just like if the rapist kills his victim.  That isn't 'God' intending the woman to get killed.

To his credit Richard Mourdock does accept that there are situations where the woman's life is in danger and that she should be allowed to have an abortion to save her life.

This is unlike Republican Congressman Joe Walsh of Illinois who said this just last week that there is never a situation where a pregnancy has to be aborted to save the life of the mother.  Apparently Joe doesn't know what a ectopic pregnancy is and that almost 2% of all pregnacies are ectopic and that it is the leading cause of meternal morality within the first trimester and this is in the USA.

I get if you are pro-life but know the facts.  Know that if you say life starts at conception and that a ball of 16 cells = a person that you their for think that "the pill" is murder.  The pill has multiple levels of prevention.  First it attempts to prevent ovulation from actually occuring. But this, like all birth control, isn't 100% effective.  The pill also thickens the musus around the cervix making it more difficult for the sperm to get into the uterus.  But again this is also not 100% effective.  Finally the pill affects the lining of the uters making it difficult for an egg to attach to the wall.  This is subtle and some people don't get it. Some do but don't want you to get it because it may sway your feelings on the legislation they are trying to ram down your throat.  This last line of defence means that a fertilised egg will get flushed out with the woman's normal menstril cycle.  I.E. conception happened.  That ball of cells just has a much harder time becoming viable.

So when politicians try to say that abortion is never allowed and that life begins at conception that the most popular birth control method becomes illegal.  That means a larger number of women would be force with a life threatening condition when their ectopic pregnacy causes massive internal hemoraging and they where not allowed treatment that could save their life.

The half baked ideas from the GOP are crazy.  What is even more crazy is they expect us to believe their intentions and motivations.

I can't believe the $#I~ that come out of Mitt Romney's mouth

We all know Romney has a problem with connecting with the average American.  His awkward lines like
  • Talking to the members of the chambers of commerce - I like being able to fire people who provide services to me. - Jan 2012
  • Trying to pander to middle Americans - I'm not concerned about the very poor. - Jan 2012
  • Trying to pander to a group of unemployed in florida -I should tell my story. I'm also unemployed. -  June 2011
  • When asked about tying his dog to the roof of his car and not stopping to let the dog go to the toilet -PETA is not happy that my dog likes fresh air. -   2007
  • Trying to show how he's an average guy that likes motor sport - I have some great friends that are NASCAR team owners. - Feb 27, 2012
  • Talking to some supporters from a local bakery - I'm not sure about these cookies. They don't look like you made them. No, no. They came from the local 7/11 bakery, or whatever. - April 17, 2012
  • Talking to supporters in Michigan - I love this state. The trees are just the right height. -  Feb 2012
  • At a speech in Harrisburg - he [Obama] spent too much time at Harvard, perhaps, or maybe just not enough time actually working in the real world - April 2012 
note: that Romney was at Harvard longer and got 2 degrees while he was there, Obama paid his way through Harvard like most American's using student loans and worked as a community organiser for an organisation with a annual budget of $400,000 a year for 13 staff and the projects they ran.  

Now Mitt Romney comes out with this. No one has ever asked to see my birth certificate!

Well who cares.  Obama was born in Hawaii.  Has legitimate short and long form birth certificate authenticated by officials in the state of Hawaii.  Just because nut bag conspiracy idiots within the GOP keep lying and claiming that Obama isn't a real citizen of the United States of American, even when shown the evidence to the contrary.  One would hope that Mitt Romney would try to distance himself from those nut jobs.  But instead he's kept those nut jobs close.  Accepting untold amounts of money from them and now he's jump squarely in bed with them spouting the same shit as they do.  

The hypocrisy here is amazing.  No one has asked Mitt for his birth certificate but will he release his tax returns for the last 10 years?  Nope!  Mind you this is a tradition his father started back in 1968.   The only 2 years of tax returns he did release showed that he paid taxes at rate of less then 15%.  That he used banks in the Cayman islands and Switzerland to shield income from taxes to not only the USA but other countries like Italy.  Don't get me wrong.  To date nothing he's done appears to be illegal.  He's just manipulated the system which is geared to making it easy for rich people to pay very little in taxes.

The official tax policy that the republicans want to push through is even worse.  Mitt Romney would end up paying less then 1% in taxes.  The GOP wants to push through 5 trillion dollars...that is $5,000,000,000,000.00 in tax cuts that are exclusively for the top 2% of American's.  The GOP currently won't extend tax cuts that would benefit all Americans until they get further tax cuts to those Americans that earn over $250,000.00 a year.  Get this straight.  ALL Americans would benefit by the tax cuts Obama wants to push through because it covers all income up to $250,000.00.  But this isn't good enough for the GOP.  They want more tax breaks that only benefit people that earn more then $250,000.00 a year.  

Where do you think the GOP's tax cuts for the top 2% would come from?  Who's going to pay for it?  This is something they don't like you to know.  It comes from killing Medicare.  Independent economists predict that Medicare collapse within 4 years if Romney was elected and implemented his tax plan.  Taxes to low and middle income Americans would got up.  Finally services like police, fire and education would be cut back so that the rich can get richer.

What the President really says from his own mouth.
