We knew that equality would go down the drain even further but does it have to happen before the new folks are sworn in? And this badly? And thanks to Democrats? The Deficit Commission appointed by the President thinks that slashing taxes for the rich and corporations is okay while the rest of us suffer. Apparently, they slept right through the reports that showed that trickle down economics doesn’t work, that increased income inequality is bad for a country.

And, yes, this is extremism but coming from an unusual side: The Democrats. If you are “represented” by one of the few who might have a backbone, please contact them! They are Sen. Kent Conrad, Sen. Max Baucus, Sen. Dick Durbin, and Rep. Xavier Becerra. I tried emailing Becerra to thank him for his stand but my email was rejected because I live in the wrong ZIP code…

We can help take this country back from corporate rule by standing up against Citizens United on it’s anniversary in January 2011.
