"...We keep seeing bipartisan support for plans like the so-called 'Gang of Six' that cut Social Security benefits, kill jobs, give tax incentives for corporations to export good jobs overseas, tax health benefits, and lower tax rates for billionaires and corporations," [AFL-CIO President Richard ] Trumka said in a statement Wednesday. "There's no shared sacrifice here. The only sacred cows being gored are working people, the middle class, seniors and the poor."
Actually, Rich, those were never sacred cows.
"Though the plan is very specific when it comes to spelling out tax cuts for rich people, there are still a lot of blanks to be filled in," Trumka said. "Even so, we've seen enough to know that there is nothing here for working people. We need to keep asking our leaders: 'Who got us into this mess?' It wasn't working people. The people who got us into this mess are getting off scot-free, and this Gang of Six proposal shows they have accomplices in both parties."
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
