[ Republicans pledge to improve the economy by extending all of President Bush’s tax cuts and reducing spending to the Bush administration level. In other words, Republicans pledge to pursue the very same economic policies that created the Great Recession and turned record surpluses into record deficits. ]
It just doesn't make any sense for poor and struggling Americans to support this kind of agenda irrespective of ethinicity. The GOP's agenda supports the wealthy.
[ New U.S. Census numbers highlight the disparities. The poverty rate among African Americans and Hispanics was nearly double the overall rate in 2009— 25.8 percent for African Americans and 25.3 percent for Hispanics compared to an average 14.3 percent.]
Now this is just insane!!! Why wouldn't anyone having challenges go to the POLLS to send the GOP a LOUD MESSAGE that although we aren't satified with the Democrats (at least I'm not), we don't want more of the same.
[ The child poverty rate was hardly better— 35.7 percent for African Americans and 33.1 percent for Hispanics compared to an overall average of 20.7 percent. Real median household income for African Americans, $32,584, was roughly one-third below the average median household income of $49,777 in 2009; for Hispanics, it was roughly one-quarter below the average at $38,039. And the unemployment rate for African Americans and Hispanics was substantially higher in August 2010 than the national average of 9.6 percent: 16.3 percent and 12 percent, respectively. ]
NO THANKS GOP!!!
