Let those rich nations that are really rich go ahead and do what they want but as for the US we are broke all our money belong to China now. I’m so sick of the United States citizens being robbed to pay for the rest of the world!

Amen...but it has to start here at home. Those big tax breaks for the rich have to expire. All those do is the same thing...they increase the deficit to give a bunch more cash "thank you" gifts for those who donated to most to elect the GOP. They claim to be the "fiscally responsible" party but they ignore their own design to let these expire to avoid this $700 billion deficit. IT WAS THEIR IDEA THEY SHOULD EXPIRE. Actually I think it would not harm all of us to let them all expire. We are only talking a few percent, 3 cents on the dollar and it would help lower our deficit. We need the boost to our economy to help all of our wages increase. 95% of us just got tax cuts from Obama already. Our taxes are NOT high.

The claim that tax breaks create jobs leaves out the part that is most important to American workers...those new jobs were created in China, India and Brazil using that extra cash. Since the tax breaks went into effect 10 years ago big business has closed 40,000 factories in American. Most moved over seas. If this is the kind of "jobs" creation we can expect ( as history proved to be the case ) we don't want that kind of "help" from the wealthy.

And no...I don't excuse Democrats either although they just did pass legislation, over the objection of the GOP to close some tax breaks that rewarded companies for exporting out jobs.

We need a change that provides us with a Congress that places citizens ahead of greed. //
