Unofficial State of the Union Address Thread

[H. Ross Peron]

"Give America a raise!"

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

Executive order for minimum wage of $10 an hour! (for federal workers at least)

Table scraps.

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

Obama, just stop pretending to care about poverty unless you're willing to fight for far-reaching solutions that tackle the root of the problem (i.e. capitalism) instead of half-assed solutions like a $10 minimum wage or continuing the incompetent and insufficient welfare programs.

:temporarily off ignore:

Are you trolling? or is this the new bandwagon you're on?

[H. Ross Peron]

Called for expanding the Earned Income Tax Credit, one of the few good conservative programs

Although he should just advocate expanding SS rather than this "MyRA" scheme

New bandwagon? I just know what the problem is.

The EITC is a scheme to let employers pay their workers less at the expense of taxpayers.

[H. Ross Peron]

Glad to see the President defending his health care reform bill.

Indeed I am. Most Americans carry too high a tax burden, especially when most of it goes to further line the plutocrats' pockets.

[Oakvale]

the expense of taxpayers.

And so it all becomes clear...

[H. Ross Peron]

Acknowledging Steve Beshear, one of the best Red State Democrats.

Just a minute until the only non-plutocratic response!

He really nailed the section about the ACA.

That's kind of ironic considering your support for a strong welfare state.
