The Middle Class Irony

One of the biggest criticisms against McCain is that he is continuing "trickle down economy" where the richest 5% get tax breaks- so that it will hopefully reach the middle class.

Popular opinion of the public along with the Democrats is that the middle class needs to be the one helped the most. One aspect is that the middle class are the biggest consumers, so they need more money to spend- making sure that the economy stays rigorous. Watch these pretty comprehensive videos about "Obamanomics"





Watch every Obama speech: it's all about the middle class.
Sounds good right?
I'm betting that you're in the middle class.

McCain and Obama's policies are opposites: Trickle down and Trickle up. But how about the lowest class?
How does "lifting up the middle class" affect the bottom? McCain has continually flip flopped about raising the minimum wage vs. Obama who is adamantly pushing to keep the minimum wage livable at the same rate as the economy.

All you can really say about their stance is that McCain is among the highest 5% of Americans while Obama (at least according to Audacity of Hope) talks about our "empathy deficit" for the urban poor.

So is there a trickle down to the bottom? I guess the issue is: which candidate's policy gives a higher likelihood of trickling down to the bottom? From the richest to the bottom, or the middle to the bottom?

Even globally, for America to be the philanthropist to the third world, would mean for America to have the respect of other nations as well as the money to give and build resources. Through the lens of poverty, that would necessitate the administration with the most sound economic plan right? Here's the theoretical chart of the Dems' policy. For the Republicans, add "more $ for richest, trickles down to middle class" to the top.



This is all very naive (but popular) statement, but the urban poor need jobs, higher minimum wage, and an excellent education program. Pretty much: make them just like the middle class.

It's a very shallow explanation of deeper needs, but economically, it's what people are really asking for isn't it?

So the democrats knock the republicans for their trickle own policy, but what are they going to do about their own uspoken "trickle down" to the poor? Even moreso, to the rest of the impoverished world? Is all of this middle class growth really going make that siginificant of a change for the poorest of the poor?

Animal Lovers Say "No" To Palin

While browsing google images for naked pictures of Sarah Palin (don't judge me! ), I came across an interesting little article concerning her views on animals rights. Well obviously since shes an avid hunter and explicitly touts her fur coat everywhere one would only think that she luvs animals. Nonetheless, here our a few points to consider with Sarah Palin :

Sarah Palin:

* Proposed paying a $150 bounty for the left foreleg of each dead
wolf.

* Approved a $400,000 state-funded propaganda campaign to promote
aerial hunting.

* Introduced legislation to make it even easier to use aircraft to
hunt wolves and bears.

McCain DRILLS His Speech Into Nowhere

Last night during the RNC, John McCain mentioned drilling for more oil a total of 18 times! While barley mentioning issues concerning poverty or rebuilding of the middle class. I wounder how many more tax breaks for oil companys would he implement IF he was elected into office and how come the middle class would not recieve any prominent tax relief.

"After listening to all the speeches this week, I heard nothing that suggests the Republicans are ready to fix the economy for middle-class families, provide quality affordable health care for all Americans, guarantee equal pay for equal work for women, restore our nation's leadership in a complex world or tackle the myriad of challenges our country faces," Clinton said in the statement. "So, to slightly amend my comments from Denver: No way, no how, no McCain-Palin. - CNN"

McCain shows no love for the Middle-Class

Yesterday during the RNC, John McCain failed to mention any issue concerning middle class Americans.

"If you watched the Republican National Convention over the last three days, you wouldn't know that we have the highest unemployment in five years because they didn't say a thing about what is going on with the middle class," Obama told workers at a specialty glass factory.

"They spent a lot of time talking about John McCain's biography, which we all honor," the Illinois senator said. "They talked about me a lot, in less than respectful terms. What they didn't talk about is you and what you're seeing in your lives and what you're going through, or what your friends or your neighbors are going through." - The Associated Press

I guess one would try to argue  WELL THATS WHAT SARAH PALIN IS FOR, but then again....
