David Gregory contrasts Obama speech a couple years ago...
Well David, that was before it came to light the record profits the upper class has been making while the middle class has shrunk.. The blue line does not indicate the middle class has actually shrunk but add the bank ripoffs and the blue line becomes less trustworthy of accuracy. And who has profited from these houses being forfeited? Errr... the banks...
David asks Dick Durbin, Well wont that hurt the upper class (1%) to raise their taxes? Boooo Hoooo.... The republican Senator Kyl responds with his bought off Koch brothers lies...
Apparently David Gregory has not see this chart...
The blue line is the middle class... Which has remained in the same state of poverty since 1917! They have remained in the same poverty while the banks over inflated real estate and secretly fixed interest rates. The banks and corporations have lined their pockets while secretaries have been paying higher tax rates than corporate CEO's.
And if the upper class are such job creators, where are the jobs? No, we even have our US Olympic apparel made in China. Although they still charge an ungodly arm and a leg for the Olympic outfits while they are paying for slave labor in China to make them. The savings on labor for these uniforms have not been handed down to consumers... The only savings are what these corporations are paying the Chinese workers and profiting themselves for. It is a disgrace. And Mitt Romney is their patron saint...
The same with Apple Computers. Apple charges unheard of prices for their crappy hardware while exploiting Chinese workers of even their souls. Well at least the corporations supply the factory dorms buildings with nets so if the Chinese workers try and commit suicide the nets will catch them in mid air and they can be back on the assembly line the next day to work another week nonstop. Foreign labor is not trickling down to middle class savings either they are doubling the price for American consumers and paying 1/8 or even less the price for foreign labor... These corporations pocket the profits at all costs... Mitt is not the only corporation stashing his profits in foreign tax shelters either... He bid for presidency is the only reason this practice has been brought to light though it is most likely common practice for all major corporations. Midst all of these record profits Apple is has tried to worm its way out of green business practice agreements.
Remember the republican's mantra, "low taxes and no regulations..."
Apple Returns To Green Registry After Dropout ‘Mistake’

This was not a mistake! Apple knew what it was doing... Only when their freakish hippy consumer base began to protest in huge numbers did Apple reverse its toxic stance... Apple was improving their own bottom line at the expense of the environment which they have no intention of fixing once these crappy products of theirs end up in landfills because everyone needs a bigger and better "I" whatever.
(Apple's "I crap" products could have use solar cells too and improved the US markets on solar cells but that would have cut out the profits of the greedy utility companies...)
The only republican majority we need is the teapublicans and bankers out picking up the trash on roadsides left by their wasteful corporate consumer products.
Obama is our only hope...
Obama 2012!
