Tell John Boehner to Tax the Rich Fairly

My fellow Americans,

Are you not MAD AS HELL about the GOP hostage taking that's going on in Washington? Some call it economic terrorism, I call it being OWNED by the corporations and the super rich. And I'm sick to death of it. John Boehner is the guy in charge, and he needs to hear from us, the American people. We are sick to death of paying MORE than our fair share of taxes when the giant corporations (what he has been instructed to call "job creators" even though they've created almost NO new jobs in the ten years of the Bush tax cuts) and the super wealthy get richer and pay less.

Why, America, are we not UP IN ARMS over this crisis? TAKE SOME ACTION. Here's what you can do RIGHT NOW to MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

1. CALL JOHN BOEHNER'S WASHINGTON DC OFFICE at (202) 225-6205. Tell him to roll back the Bush tax cuts.

2. Call your State Senators and tell them the same thing. HERE is a handy page that will help you find your senators and their contact information.

3. Contact your Congressional representatives in the House. Here's an extremely useful page to locate that information.

4. Visit the website of, sign up for and consider making a small donation to any organization that is fighting to roll back the Bush tax cuts. For example, MoveOn.org is not the fringe lefty organization some would have you think. They are, in fact, working for YOU. Help 'em out.

5. Wear a tshirt or button, buy a bumper sticker, spread the word.

Debt Ceiling, Republican Intransigence, Economy Woes

Warning! The following post is editorial, and is the opinion of this blog author only.

Could Eric Cantor be any more sickeningly transparent in his intransigence? From The Hill on July 8: "Cantor (R-Va.) on Friday said today's jobs report is a strong argument against raising taxes on Americans as part of an agreement to raise the debt ceiling and cut spending." Cantor and his cohorts have repeatedly and vehemently blocked any tax hike for millionaires, billionaires, and corporations. How stupid are we Americans that we are allowing this to happen, allowing our economy to tank, our international credit rating to fall, and our economic leadership to falter? In my opinion, the Republicans who are falling lockstep behind this immoral and falsely presented stance are shameless. In their zeal to see President Obama fail, and at the same time to protect their special interests (you know...those pesky billionaires) they are willing to destroy everything that has made this nation great.

America, don't let them get away with it. Educate yourself, educate your friends and neighbors, learn the truth about revenue and spending and the Bush tax cuts and the dangers to our economy, and then DO SOMETHING. Call your representatives at every level, and tell them we need to TAX THE RICH equitably. Get angry, write letters, wear t-shirts, talk to people, get involved, run for office, vote. DO SOMETHING.
