How can Republicans complain about the deficit, after demanding the extension of Tax cuts for the Wealthy?

You just figured that out? The rich elite are the real ones running the government. And of course they are looking out for their trillion dollar bank accounts so they can afford their 12 yacht. God forbid they have to pay taxes so starving citizens and children can get food stamps! These people aren't 'lazy' they simply can't get jobs that pay enough to support them, you try getting by on a minimum wage job and paying for food and rent. Don't think that they will hire those poor people to do the jobs, they will go overseas or hire illegals for low wages and poor working conditions. Nothing trickles down because they continue to look for corners and ways to get out of paying people more and hiring more people. They used the recession to hire less people because the people that do have jobs now work extra hard to ensure that they say employed. They also pay much less and collect the leftovers. This has allowed for them to work people like slaves and get the benefits of it at the same time. When are people going to learn that big businesses are about making profit, not about giving out jobs or helping citizens put food on their tables. THEY DON"T CARE ABOUT YOU! They will watch your children starve while they eat golden sundaes. People in genuine are selfish in nature and the more you make the more you want no matter who it hurts or who loses out. That's what Capitalism is about. The sooner we realize how corrupt and greedy they are the sooner we can actually make a difference and do something about it.
