Finally A Democrat "Plan"

Ms. Pelosi has a plan!  I thought it might be fun to take a look at the whole plan, with the perspective interpretation of a former donk, i.e., me!  Let's take a look at her "plan".

"Pelosi spoke Thursday at Washington's Georgetown University, saying her party's economic policies would not benefit the "privileged few."

Right off the bat, she goes into the typical donkey braying about "class warfare".  This is the drum they've beaten since I was in high school...probably longer than that, I just didn't look at it until I was in high school.  Even then, I thought it was a ridiculous premise that discourages achievement.  I mean, hey!  If I worked hard and got to a new level of income, they'd then hate me too? 

She said if control of the U.S. Congress is returned to Democratic Party, it will raise the minimum wage, repeal tax incentives that "serve to export American jobs overseas," enact targeted tax cuts to spur economic growth and competitiveness particularly in the area of energy independence, reform the federal tax code and "fix the Alternative Minimum Tax."

Let's start with the minimum wage.  Who makes minimum wage?  Do you know of anyone who makes minimum wage?  Your teenager?  My teenager grandson is a great worker, and has received several wage raises since he started his part-time job...while he's in high school!  Give me a break, people.  The only thing raising the minimum wage does is causes hardship on small businesses, and causes the real minimum wage earner to lose their job because their employer cannot afford any more than that on entry level employees!  The only wage earners on minimum wage are people who do not have a family to raise, and who do not want to remain at that level, or are so lazy they hope that their welfare checks will make up for it.  Sorry, that dog doesn't hunt, Nancy!

As for the tax code, Nan, let's take a look at the real tax breakdown, courtesy of my pal Rush,

Only the Rich Pay Taxes!

Myth Buster: Democrats Get More Campaign Cash from "Rich"

[Thanks, Rush!  It sure saved research time, and you pay a whole staff for this stuff!]  So now, with these figures in mind, how do you justify your continual class envy myth?  Shouldn't you be encouraging the folks to do their best to achieve?  Look how much more money in tax dollars you could waste if there were more millionaires?  The GOP offers a leg up, and all you folks do is smack folks down!  Oh, right.  Y'all like 'em to be beholdin' to you.  They're much easier to control that way, aren't they?

"The right kind of tax cuts can provide real help to hard-pressed families, inject demand into our economy and spur the type of economic growth that will produce jobs and reduce the deficit," Pelosi said.

Attention San Fran Nan, "inject demand into our economy"?  Lady, have you bothered to look at what the Dow did last week?  And what about a record low 4.6% unemployment do you think is bad? 

"Republicans have promoted the concentration of wealth and power in the hands of the very few," she said. "Democrats want an economy that allows many more Americans to participate in America's prosperity."

Now this one is the most ridiculous of any of your plan's "points".  The bottom line difference between Dumocraps and GOP is the fact that the GOP wants everyone to be in the upper income category, while you donks believe there should be a permanent "under class" to retain your voting base, who will buy your bull crud ideas.  There is no doubt, with y'all's ideas, it will ruin our economy if you are in power.
