Guest guest Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 Listmates, friends and family: PLEASE!!! Let's help President Obama have the courage and intelligence to veto this outrageous bill that compromises our elders' health, the quality of our climate, takes away unemployment benefits for untold numbers of people who cannot find jobs, and continues to protect billionaires! Just sign the petition!! THANKS! Dr. JM, Jaquelyn, Mom, Grammaw, Dr. McCandless etc. ----- Forwarded Message ---- To: Jaquelyn McCandless Sent: Thu, December 15, 2011 10:31:20 AM Subject: Poison Jaquelyn -- In the hours after Republicans rammed through their poison-pill packed version of the payroll tax cut extension, over 97,000 of you stood with President Obama’s veto threat. Can you help us reach 100,000 strong before Midnight tonight? Sign our petition right now telling House Republicans to stop holding the payroll tax cut hostage to Tea Party demands >> The Republican plan would force millions of seniors to pay more for health care and one million unemployed Americans to sacrifice their benefits -- but refuse to ask the wealthiest 1% or special interests like Big Oil to sacrifice one red cent. Now, if Speaker Boehner, Cantor, and Tea Party Republicans refuse to back down from their outrageous demands, the government could be forced to shut down tomorrow at midnight. We cannot allow Republicans to shut down the government and we cannot go home for the holidays with 160 million Americans facing a $1,000 tax increase on January 1, 2012. Stand with President Obama’s veto threat and help us put pressure on the Republicans by signing our petition today >> Thanks for acting fast, Pelosi P.S.

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 The wealthiest 1% are not to sacrifice one red cent? Really? The top 1% pay 40% of the income taxes in this country. Yet they make about 18% of the income. And the bottom 47% pay zero income taxes. So it is a bit disingenuous to phrase these assertions this way. And asking those who are unemployed to sacrifice their benefits means they may have to start looking for work before 99 weeks. Obama is threatening to veto the bill because he won't approve an oil pipeline that would create up to 200,000 jobs. These jobs would be much better than the benefits the unemployed are now receiving. And it's getting more and more difficult for us taxpayers to pay those benefits as budgets are being stretched to the point of breaking. I am shocked that you would choose to push this radical Left-wing agenda, sent to you by Pelosi, on an Autism support group. My guess is that, as a doctor, your income is a lot higher than a lot of ours on this list. And you are free to pay extra taxes to the government every year if you so choose. My guess is that you don't.
