Putting goopers in a bad box, let the bush tax cuts expire, as they were intended to.

Create the Obama Tax Cuts, in a bill and put it to a vote before the election.

It cuts taxes beginning Jan 1 for those making less than 150k and couples at less than 250k. Everyone in that “poor cohort” gets the 20% dividend and long-term cap gains cuts, along with current marginal tax rates.

the rich, who arent doing their job by spending, get to pay what they were paying in 1999.

If the goopers want to vote against tax cuts for the middle class, the so-called little people (thank you very much sen. simpson) then let them do it and pay the price.

and let’s stop calling the new tax plan anything to do with Bush.

They are OBAMA tax rates.

Wanna know what really happened in MA on Tuesday.

The same voters who buried McCain didnt vote this time.

Almost million MORE folks went to the polls in MA in 2008 and all of them voted for Obama.

Scott Brown got the same vote total as McCain, but Coakley got 900k fewer votes.

Dem turnout and independent turnout just disappeared.

MA Election results  

2010 election  

1,168,000 brown  

1,059,000 coakley  

    20,000 others  

2,247,000  total

2008 election  

1,109,000 mccain  

1,904,000 obama  

  100,000 others  

3,113,000 total  

Brown wins with about the same vote as McCain got.  

Where were the 900k or so voters that didnt show up at all and who just a year ago gave Obama the win?

Brown ran identical numbers to McCain, but Coakley drew 900k fewer.  

Dems and independents just didnt turn out. It is as Howard Dean tried to say but then didnt have the data to support it–Progressives are mad at Obama for talking tough on Corporations, HMOs, Big Rx, and Wall Street. But then playing kissy face with them.

There are about 1.5 million Dems, .5 million Goopers, and 2 million no party in MA.  

They could’ve used some stimulus over at the teabagger rally in Hermosa Beach yesterday. As the video from the LAT shows, there were maybe two dozen folks there.

The Times put on its best Fox costume for Easter to celebrate the event with a print story and video, but the hyping couldnt cover up what was true about this made up news: no one was there.

and at this not so massive teabagging in LA, it was mostly chatter about the CA bgt mess and the coming proposition elections, not OB’s bgt and the stimulus.

where is a fat drug addict when you need one?

I read where Assembly Goopers by one vote blocked the extension of Unemployment Insurance (UI) benefits, which would be paid for entirely by federal stimulus money. The extension would have added 20 weeks for the very long-term unemployed, increasing the possible benefit period from 59 weeks to 79 weeks.

Recall that UI benefits are some of the most stimulative of all programs, returning almost $2 in impact for every dollar spent. The Yacht Party membership is all about talking about helping the state, but when funds show up that can help people stay in their homes and keep food on the table, they turn a deaf ear.

Will we get some leadership from Governor Arnold. He famously derided some other Gooper governors for saying they would refuse stimulus funds for UI benefits, but he is SILENT now.

California is among the top two or three states in the number of unemployed. Our unemployment is over 10% and hundreds of thousands more are out of work but simply not included in those figures because they no longer receive UI benefits.

Many of the folks hardest hit by the downturn are those who lost their jobs early in the recession; a year or more ago. They will run out of UI benefits in the next few weeks.
