Why the Buffet Rule did not Pass
10 Reasons why the Buffet Rule Did NOT Pass :
1) Republicans are siding with the Rich and Corporations.
2) Wealthiest people in America are becoming even wealthier
3) Their tax rates are the lowest in decades
4) Buffet reminds us the 1% pay lower tax rates than cops, teachers, nurses
5) Since most of them pay 14.8% or nothing at all, the Gov’t is losing a huge amount of revenue that can be used to create infra structure jobs, green energy jobs and stop the middle class cuts!
6) So the Repubs want to cut Food stamps, Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security instead. This is a backward set of priorities!!
7) Under Bush’s 8 year term, tax breaks were given to the 1% and 500,000 private sector jobs were lost. Upon his leaving office, he left the country on the verge of financial collapse.
8) It should be obvious to us that this Theory does not work!
9) 70% of Americans favor the Buffet Rule. The top 400 wealthiest people own more than the bottom half of America ( 150 million ).
10) This is not what Americans want. We can not expect a “Fair Share Tax Reform” to come out of DC unless we demand this bill does pass into law.
WE NEED TO MAKE THIS BILL PASS…
Please pass it on!
