Buddy can you spare a dime ...

The Carpetbagger Report had a great post on Saturday that I would like to share. I also encourage you to visit the site! It's filled with great information.
The Washington Post ran an interesting chart this week that every Democrat should memorize. It shows your annual savings under the latest Republican tax cut. Here are the figures:
$10,000-$20,000: $2
$20,000-$30,000: $9
$30,000-$40,000: $16
$40,000-$50,000: $46
$50,000-$75,000: $100
$75,000-$100,000: $403
$100,000-$200,000: $1,388
$200,000-$500,000: $4,499
$500,000-$1 million: $5,562
More than $1 million: $41,977


According to the U.S. Census Bureau, median income in the United States is $44,389. Math has never been my biggest skill, but I know what "median" means: half fall above, half below.

It's high time for some good old-fashioned class warfare. The ads write themselves: "The Republicans just bought all of their friends a shiny new car or a fancy fishing boat. You got a fast-food meal. Enjoy your nine dollars."
