[QUOTE="TechGrrl, post: 810721, member: 4932"] 1) State and local governments got hammered by the recession, which was caused by Wall Street and the greedhead corporations and banks. 2) And in a double whammy, their pensions funds took a big hit when the market tanked. Doubt they have fully recovered. 3) Meanwhile, the top 1% is paying less in taxes than at any time in a 50 year span. 4) Corporations had a record-popping 4th quarter, and their profits are the highest they have ever been, even since before the recession. 5) And the taxpayers bailed out the banks, too. 6) And obscene salaries and bonuses are back in style, while unemployment stays above 9% and workers everywhere are asked to sacrifice!?!? Anyone who votes Republican needs to have their head examined. Unless you are a corporate executive or a hedge fund manager. Then, you are getting exactly what you want. People, wake up! If you are going to get envious of goldplated salaries and pensions, teachers and trashhaulers are NOT the correct target! Go after the CEO's and the Koch Brothers, and the rest of the corporate greedheads..... [/QUOTE]
