Tax and Spend Liberals Held 40 “Uncut” Rallies Across the US Yesterday.
They called it a grassroots rally but only a couple of dozen protesters showed up to support their big government agenda.
These selfish dolts don’t think that government has spent enough of your children’s money (tripling the deficit wasn’t enough?) so they held rallies across the US yesterday to Tax the Rich. They either aren’t aware of the fact the the US “rich” already pay the most… Or they don’t care.
This is from their Uncut website:
US Uncut is a grassroots movement taking direct action against corporate tax cheats and unnecessary and unfair public service cuts across the U.S. Washington’s proposed budget for the coming year sends a clear message: The wrath of budget cuts will fall upon the shoulders of hard-working Americans. That’s unacceptable.
Obama seeks to trim $1.1 trillion from the budget in the next ten years by cutting or eliminating over 200 federal programs, many dedicated to social services and education. For instance, it cuts in half funding to subsidize heating for low-income Americans; limits an expansion of the Pell grant program for students; and decreases Environmental Protection Agency funding by over 12% .
Meanwhile, Republicans are using their new House majority to slash spending even more brutally. The GOP has made it clear that they are bent on raiding funds for Social Security, Medicare, education; determined to kill health care reform; and gut needed investments in infrastructure, climate change and job creation, at a time when America needs it most.
These cuts will come on top of very painful austerity measures made at the state-level across our nation–-worth hundreds of billions–since the recession began.
In short, budget cuts demonstrate that Washington has abandoned ordinary Americans.
But there is an alternative: Make corporate tax avoiders pay.
In Washington DC the radicals blocked the doors at the Bank of America.
Here’s a photo from the Portland rally.
Even in San Francisco they could only get a couple dozen radical leftists to show up.
No wonder we didn’t hear about these protests in the state-run media.
So much for that groundswell of support, huh?
Better luck next time, libs.
