Middle Class vs. the 1%: Its About to Get Really Ugly
"It's going to be about a clear choice," says Mills. He predicts the tone will be, "we [the Democrats] are the choice of the middle class, Romney is the choice of business and the rich. And if you give him the keys, this is going to go back to the failed economic policies that brought us to the brink in the first place; it is Bush economics on steroids."
That message is right in line with the 2012 Democratic National Platform. Here's one of the first paragraphs from the 40-page document.
The Republican Party has turned its back on the middle class Americans who built this country. Our opponents believe we should go back to the top-down economic policies of the last decade. They think that if we simply eliminate protections for families and consumers, let Wall Street write its own rules again, and cut taxes for the wealthiest, the market will solve all our problems on its own.
They argue that if we help corporations and wealthy investors maximize their profits by whatever means necessary, whether through layoffs or outsourcing, it will automatically translate into jobs and prosperity that benefits us all.
They would repeal health reform, turn Medicare into a voucher program, and follow the same path of fiscal irresponsibility of the past administration giving trillions of dollars in tax cuts weighted towards millionaires and billionaires while sticking the middle class with the bill.
But we've tried their policies and we've all suffered when they failed.
