Bush's Economy - Another Surprise Visit

The economy is good, if you're a stockholder, if you're a CEO, it's the best it's ever been. Republicans have all but eliminated your taxes and are trying to shift the rest of them to the backs of those of us who aren't benefitting from the economic recovery - wage earners and middle class families.

Class warfare? Damned right it is. The Republican elitists want you to believe what's good for the corporation is good for America and in some respects, they're right. The welcome the Elitist in Chief, President Bush, received on the trading floor of the New York Stock Exchange today should give some indication of the results of his policies. Stocks are trading at all time highs, meanwhile your health care costs continue to rise, people continue to lose coverage and by the way, in real dollars, you're making much less than during the past Presidency.

Bush's remarks indicate how out of touch he is. All the changes he outlined in his remarks were to the benefit of employers, not employees. Tell me how many people feeding a family can even afford the tuition to go back to school, much less the time. Meanwhile, Republicans want to link further tax cuts for business to an increase in the minimum wage. During the debate on the minimum wage, the good Senators from the right have made as much as a minimum wage earner earns in four months. That's elitist.
