Come On, The Economy is Not that Bad!!!

Consider this regarding the Top 400 Wage Earners in the United States:

In September, Forbes magazine released its annual list of the 400 wealthiest Americans--and the group's net worth had jumped 8 percent from last year to a combined $1.37 trillion. The industries that dominate the list--surprise, surprise--are finance, investment and real estate.

In the debate over whether Congress should allow Bush-era tax cuts for the wealthy--estimated to cost around $700 billion over the next 10 years--to expire, the cries of the wealthy reached a near-deafening level.

Come on, why punish them in this tough economy. I am sure everyone saw an 8% increase in their wages last year.

Why Are Progressives So Scared?

I admire the Tea Party for one reason. They have ideas, and are unabashed about their politics. The Progressives would do well to take note of their strengths. No one votes for a party that shys away from their platform. Ironically, the Tea Party has a smaller base than Progressives, however they know how to engage their base, and get them to vote. Republicans should also learn from their own movement. Core values matter, and they ignored their own base.
If Progressives lose this November, they have no one to blame but themselves. They were outworked and gave up on their own agenda. Regarding the President, he is correct about the Progressive agenda. Just because you did not get everything you wanted the first two years, Progressives should not give up on the next 2 years.
