Koch-Fueled Controversy Lands in Washington

More nonsense concerning attacks on workers and pension funds as the culprit in America's financial woes. This is a deliberate misinformation campaign that seeks to distract Americans from the tremendous revenue imbalance in which the wealthy and corporations do not pay their fair share of taxes into the operating budget of the country, and to further stigmatize the working man as the root of all of troubles. It's absurd and dishonest and people need to realize that they are being manipulated into a dialogue that misses the larger issues driving the budget crisis.

Only one representative had the courage tackle Wall Street head on. Rep. Elijah Cumnings (D-Maryland) said, “This recession was not caused by working Americans. Firefighters, teachers and nurses were not responsible for the reckless actions on Wall Street … It is shameful to play politics with middleclass families –- we should be helping these workers, not attacking them they are the engine of our economy.”
