“We represent the middle class”

No you don’t.  Republican candidates represent “Crony Capitalism,” which is the main reason the economy collapsed in 2008.  The conservatives have recently adopted the trickery of attacking liberals by turning the phrase “Class Warfare” into something the Democrats are using against all the hard working simple Republican folk.  This is actually exactly the opposite of the phrase’s true meaning.  Republican spin doctors have been advocating lower taxes, and what’s more, that it’s only fair that every American “contribute” their own share.  The facts are that by year’s end 2010 the U.S. medium annual wage was $26,364.  Compare that with Mitt Romney, who made over 42 million in the last two years.  His tax rate in 2010 was only 13.9%.  That sounds fair.  And for all the Reagan-ites out there arguing for lower taxes, taxes are lower now than they were under Reagan.  Our boy Mitt here would have paid 20-28% during the Reagan terms.  Republicans began condemning Democrats for “Class Warfare” after a push to restore the former tax-rate of the 90’s (when the economy was at its peak) from 35% to 39% which would only affect those who earn over $380,000.  Oh by the way, that extra 4% from the richest Americans would protect Social Security and Medicare for the next 60 years.  But the “Job Creators” didn’t seem to care about programs that only benefited the middle class.  Just makes you wonder, what’s the 1% bitching about?
