The Democratic Party

Robert --  

"A million dollars is not a lot of money." That's what RNC Chairman Michael Steele thinks, anyway.

To most Americans, that's crazy talk. But it's no surprise coming from the head of a party that prefers favors for Wall Street to jobs on Main Street.

The average American household makes $52,000 per year. Only 2% make more than $250,000 -- and millions are out of work in a recovering economy.

But while arguing to extend the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy last Thursday at the University of Arkansas, Steele let slip that he thinks a million is "not a lot." It's outrageous -- but sadly, not surprising.

Greed and excess on Wall Street nearly brought down our economy, health care costs are drowning families, but the GOP is fighting to protect big banks and block health reform while proposing more and more tax cuts for the rich.

What's worse, the leading Republican on the House Budget Committee just proposed a budget that privatizes Social Security and shreds Medicare -- two programs that millions of middle-class Americans rely upon.

Republicans are going all out to be seen as defenders of the "little guy" this election season. But Chairman Steele's comment last week made it clear they're not. We need to make sure every American hears about it.
