Take Action News -- April 6, 2013

We are well and truly through the looking glass when we have a Democratic president suggesting cutting the social safety nets that we have all paid into: Social Security for seniors, benefits to disabled veterans and Medicaid/Medicare while giving the barest of lip service to making millionaires pay 'fairer' taxes and absolutely no mention of how corporations are the true moochers in our economy. I've seen some people who insist that this is still that twenty-dimensional chess game that Obama is playing, but I can't see it. This is not a game for millions of Americans and the damage that will be done to this country to protect a few elites is monumental. If you haven't already called your congress person and told them that there is absolutely no way you will give you support financially or vote-wise to someone who will force the most vulnerable among us to bear the burden of fixing the economy, what are you waiting for?
