If You Earn and Depend on a Paycheck...

Yes, it is class war. The Bushits are making war on the working class, and that is us, every single one of us who goes to work every day to earn a paycheck, to dutifully pay our taxes, to contribute to the economy. Do you poor white southern Americans who voted for Bush really think that gay marriage is more threatening to you than this (from the Minneapolis-St. Paul Star Tribune)?
Worse, tax cuts that help low-income Americans save for retirement are set to expire, while tax cuts on stock dividends and investment gains would be extended indefinitely. . . At the same time, lawmakers say they don't have the money to finance basic federal services. Funding for veterans' benefits would drop by nearly 10 percent over the next five years under the White House budget, even though the nation is asking men and women in uniform to make greater sacrifices than at any time since Vietnam. Spending on schools and job training would drop by 9 percent, even though Bush calls himself "the education president." Spending on environmental protection and transportation would fall by 16 percent and 13 percent respectively.
Fifty-nine million suckers! Well, minus a few hundred millionaires who benefit from this war on working people. Fool me once, twice, three times . . . How much can working people in this country take? They must quit letting their social fears allow them to overlook the real damage done to them, their children, and their country. Wake the fuck up! The atheists are not out to get you, the gays are not out to get you, Spongebob is not out to get you, or the Seven Dwarfs, for that matter. Bush and his gang of criminals are fooling you again and again and again by getting you drunk on bigotry and then gangraping your financial future right in the ass.

Take your country back. Now.
