Post Turtle Bush

While the right wing approves a $70 billion tax cut package for their rich pals, they at the same time are preparing to tax seniors for the rest of their lives, if they fail to enroll in the confusing Medicare Rx Program.

While the top 1 percent of taxpayers will pocket an extra $82,000 a year, the middle 20 percent will only see an extra $20.

Down with education, health and child care and other vital programs for working families. A typical Republican agenda. Anything to cause misery and suffering to “the least of these”.

Out here in the country, Bush and his buddies are referred to as “post turtles”. Those are turtles you might see on the top of a fence post. They don’t know how they got up there, they don’t know what they’re doing there, and they don’t know how to get down.

It’s up to all of us to help them get down.
