These tax cuts are wasteful, especially during the current depression but Obama plans to keep them in place, know why? Because Barack Obama has no balls. He doesn't have the testicular fortitude to stand up and say, "People making a quarter of a million dollars per year don't need tax relief. People unemployed or making less than a living wage are suffering and its these people that need their government's help."
On American websites you get the comments, "That's what will happen in America if the unions have their way!" This is why we need the draft, you just can't depend on Mother Nature to thin the ranks of these gibbering idiots by herself. There aren't enough light sockets for these people to stick their fingers into or build it yourself hang glider kits!
These people who rail about the nanny state are too stupid to realize that, that is the purpose of government, it's the old life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness thing they slept through in high school. They would prefer the non nanny state where men with guns in trucks rob the poor killing and raping at their pleasure. Where the roads are dirt and the schools are made of mud and help is just another ignorant gibbering miscreant reading from a holy book.
In the 1960's tens of thousands of Americans took to the streets to demand, not meekly beg, but demand that their government listen to them. They fought in the streets for civil rights, free speech and to end a stupid, useless, bloody, stinking war that the politicians still thought was a good idea.
There was a time in this country when crossing a picket line might earn you a fat lip or a black eye, or worse. A time when wages and benefits were going up and not down. During the last Great Depression Colorado lawmakers failed to pass legislation to allow for New Deal programs in Colorado. Angry mobs attacked the capital forcing the police to evacuate the lawmakers to safety. It was Bastille day in Denver and the legislation was quickly amended. That's how it is supposed to work, if lawmakers do just a modicum of a reasonable job they're left alone by the populace.
But when the lawmakers decide to solve problems by selling us into servitude and can think of no other solution but taking from the old, the sick and the weak. Then the lawmakers deserve to cower in the dark and to worry about how they'll get home at night. This country needs demonstrations and strikes like those in France worse than it has ever needed them.
To remind the leadership of this country that we aren't just Bozo's on this damn bus. To remind them that this is our damn bus! We decide which way it will go! We decide when wars stop and we decide when we've had enough. As Mr. Coste said, "[These protests are] an attempt to say stop abusing the workers and citizens," To remind the leadership that there are more matches than there are fire extinguishers. That we out number them by ten thousand to one and all that we lack are testicles.
