Trickle Down

The GOP's argument for keeping the Bush tax cuts in place for the wealthiest Americans is because the wealthiest American's money will trickle down.

If that's the case, why is anything open tomorrow? Why do hard working Americans have to work on a holiday that is meant to be spent with family and friends? Gas stations, grocery stores, video stores, restaurants, convenient stores will all be open tomorrow. In a time when the rich keep getting richer, one day of their businesses not being open won't send them into bankruptcy.

I don't call that trickling down. I call that greed, calling its troops into another ridiculous battle.

We all know that the people running these companies will be doing whatever the hell they feel like tomorrow, maybe even spending time with their own family and friends and celebrating all they have.

In this economy I am thankful to have a job. And I'm sure everyone working tomorrow will feel the same way, in a sense. But I certainly don't think they'll feel like they no longer want be treated like a human being with their own families and friends.

So let's use our purchasing power and not buy a damn thing tomorrow. If you forgot it, you don't need it. Come Friday, everything you could buy tomorrow will still be there. Let's send a message and tell these companies that being open on a holiday loses them money. That will surely get their attention.
