Payroll Tax Cut and POTUS

White House: Statement by White House Press Secretary. The Oval is playing politics again with the Middle Class, the Senate Democrats want to fine the rich for being rich, nothing new, they are holding hostage the Middle Class, the Republican House has financed the Payroll tax by cuts, the Statement states the following, “ ..And it’s not a time to break last summer’s bipartisan agreement and hurt the middle class by cutting things like education, clean energy, and veterans’ programs without asking the wealthiest Americans to pay their fair share. This is a time to help the middle class and all those trying to reach it by extending a tax cut worth $1,000 for the average family. …They cannot go on vacation before agreeing to prevent a tax hike on 160 million Americans and extending unemployment insurance. That is simply inexcusable in this economy. ”. Thus the above has a attack on the rich, pulling on the heart strings, education, veterans etc, one wonder why the Oval didn’t have some sad music with the statement, its that crash folks. How does making the US another welfare state help the economy, go and ask the PIIGS of the EU, if they are happy. This is not subtle class warfare, just cheap Chicago politics, even the MadMen would think it was old hat, the ideas man would get the sack, but then Obama is no Don Draper.
