I ask if it is right that:
·
15%
of Americans live in poverty (some families have two working parents) while
others make millions and some pay zero individual income tax.
·
9.3
million Workers are without jobs because businesses took/take them overseas.
·
Congress
and criminals have access to better healthcare than the average American.
Yes, there was a 10% increase in the cost of government from
Kennedy to 2012 but there was also a decrease of revenue from the corporate tax
(27%) and individual tax on the rich (about 40%). In early September 2014,
Reuters reported that a Federal Reserve survey (conducted
every three years by the Federal Board of Governors) found: from 2010 -
2013 the average income for US families rose about 4% after accounting for
inflation and none of the groups analyzed had
regained their 2007 income levels by 2013; the top 3% of income earners accounted
for 30.5% of all income. On October 28, ABC/WA Post released a poll showing 68%
of Americans think the country is on the wrong track; 28% say the economy is
improving. This shows that Americans have no idea of what is really going on. Republicans continue to fool the people with their rhetoric. Unemployment is down to its lowest point since 2008
and we are on track for the best job creation in 15 years. Americans need to look at the facts presented in the four segments and ask themselves
if the information supports Marco Rubio’s 2012
idea that a Republican is what we need to make ”This century…just as great for
our country if not better than the last hundred years”.
Republicans have not supported the law changes that allow US companies to: headquarter or
produce products overseas, donate millions in campaign funds and make billions
in profits without consideration for fellow Americans. To stop the US situation from getting worse, we need more Democrats in the Senate and the House of Representatives.
