Tell Democrats: End the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy (CREDO Action)

Dear Friend, America is not broke -- we're the richest country in the history of the world. But you wouldn't know that if you just listened to House Speaker John Boehner and other Republicans in Congress, who are already openly talking about forcing another debt ceiling crisis unless Democrats agree to brutal spending cuts. The very same politicians who are pleading poverty and yelling the loudest about the need to slash the social safety net are also the ones trying the hardest to preserve the Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans, which are set to expire at the end of the year. Very little so clearly demonstrates the callous venality of some members of Congress as their demand to give the Koch brothers a tax cut while simultaneously pushing benefit cuts to Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. I just signed a petition telling Democrats in the House and the Senate to end the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy. I hope you do, too.
