Letter: 'Republican tax cuts... have benefited the wealthy more than the middle class and working poor, and created an ever-widening, unsustainable, unbalanced income distribution in the United States.'
Beginning today, the federal government workers’ retirement and medical plans will be affected by the “extraordinary” measures to be taken by the Treasury Department. All of this stinginess and starvation of government by the Republicans will soon come on the backs of all Americans.
The debt limit crisis is here because there is not enough revenue to support all the things that we, the people, want. The reason we don’t have enough revenue is due to Republican tax cuts, which have benefited the wealthy more than the middle class and working poor, and created an ever-widening, unsustainable, unbalanced income distribution in the United States.
Here are four suggestions for all of our Republican congressional representatives: 1. Immediately pass a bill to increase the debt limit. 2. Increase the health of Social Security by doing away with the income limit for contributions to the Social Security trust fund. 3. Raise the income tax on higher incomes and on corporations. 4. Fully fund the IRS to bring in all the unpaid money from tax cheats.
