The Senate currently has a Democratic majority, and most of them joined most of the Republicans in their first vote to destroy Social Security and make the rich richer by not raising their taxes. The people who make over million a year from all sources should be paying a 90% income tax, as they did in 1950, when those who made over 0,000 paid a 90% tax rate.

The desruction of Social Security with this payroll tax cut, which will certainly not be restored in a year as it is not possible to raise taxes during a presidential election, is the end of the Democratic Party, the twin capitalist party of war and fascism with the Republican Party, paid for by the same corporations to carry out the same capitalist agenda. No millionaire can represent the workingclass, and that is certainly true of Obama, who is worth about million. For all the politicians' net worth, see
