Are you better off today than you were 8 years ago?
Thursday, July 17th, 2008Nearly 8 years of George W. (the W standards for Worst) Bush has taken a huge toll on the middle class and working Americans. The Wall Street Journal today discusses how educated middle class Americans are dealing with the collapse of their living standards.
Can America deal with another 8 years of failed Republican “trickle down” bullshit? After 8 years of Bush W., and way too many recent years of Republican executive leadership, its clear that Republicans are simply waging war on the middle class. Their goal is to supress wages, deny benefits, and push off a disproportionate amount of the tax burden onto the middle class and their children.
Just look at the results:
Decline dollar value
Declining stock market
Two income families are the norm
Real wages have been supressed for decades
Social Security has been raided and inflation adjusted payouts to seniors wanes each year
It’s clear to us now: the Republican vision of America is one in which the rich get richer on the backs of the middle class. McCain will simply continue this proud Republican legacy.
