Robert Reich's latest:

"What else could be done to raise wages and thereby spur the economy? We
might consider, for example, extending the earned income tax credit all the
way up through the middle class, and paying for it with a tax on carbon. Or
exempting the first $20,000 of income from payroll taxes and paying for it
with a payroll tax on incomes over $250,000."

Point is, the wealthy are just laughing at him, hahaha. If the poor want a
bigger share of the cake, they are going to have to fight for it. That is
how it is. And if they don't, the wealthy are just going to take more and
more. Remember it's America. The land of the free, the home of the brave,
whatever they call it.
