Letter to Joe

I just wrote an email to Joe Lieberman's Senate website in response to reports that he supports extending the Bush tax cuts to everyone, including those who earn $200,000+

JohnMac :: Letter to Joe

I suspect that he ignores most of the negative traffic his web site generates, except maybe to keep a running tally on 'yeas' and 'nays' so maybe others may want to send him an email.

Here's what I said:

Joe, please support allowing the Bush tax cuts to expire on those earning over 1/4 million dollars per year. Even if they account for 25% of all consumer spending (but I'd like to see sources on that Republican talking point), they will STILL have disposable income, they will STILL spend. They still have to eat and get around, they will just have to cut back from caviar to steak, from Escalades to Escapes. Extending those tax cuts is deficit spending, they were NOT paid for then, they are NOT paid for now.

Do you think he'll get the message?

Why are you bothering with Lieberman?
He got the message long ago, he just ignores it.

Some bad news for Holy Joe (0.00 / 0)

from OpenLeft A good day for progressives

In the NH seat left open by Paul Hodes running for Senate, strong progressive Ann Kuster shocked the Democratic establishment by beating Joe Lieberman's Presidential campaign co-chair Katrina Swett.
