The Rich and Selfish Have Enlisted the Poor to Fight For Them

Obama is trying to raise taxes (by eliminating loopholes) on billionaire corporations that move jobs overseas so that their executives can have more boats and summer homes. The Republicans stop him at every turn.

Obama is trying to raise taxes on millionaires who make more in a month than most make in a year. He is stopped at ever turn by Republicans.

Obama is trying to give poor people a fair chance against the insurance companies when it comes to getting healthcare. He wants pre-existing conditions covered, and less right of companies to reject claims. This is for the poor and middle classes — not the rich. Yet who opposes this? The Republicans.

The gap between the rich and the poor has widened for decades, and it’s now as large as it’s ever been. The rich have more and more of the money, yet the narrative from the right is still that the rich need to keep their money to create jobs. The poor and uneducated eat this up, despite the fact that if it were true they would have jobs already because the rich already have much more of the money than when jobs were plentiful.
