FISCAL DEAL: NO TAX CUT FOR TOP 2%! NO SOCIAL SECURITY/MEDICARE/MEDICAID CUTS!
Senator Boxer, we urge you to stand up for us and make sure any fiscal deal reached ends the Bush tax cuts for the top 2% AND protects Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid benefits from any cuts. This is what we voted for in November, and we expect you, our elected official, to vote the same way.
Why is this important?
All suffering is not created equal. And to suggest that if the wealthiest among us—those households with incomes over $250,000/year, but what we’re really talking about are the millionaires and beyond—are to suffer, then also must the most disadvantaged among us: seniors must be forced to choose between food and medicine, kids with chronic disabilities are to be denied medical care… well, that is just wrong.
