Paying Their Fair Share

September 23, 2011 Dear Friends,

Early this week, the President outlined his plan to reduce our nation's deficit in a fiscally responsible way. To balance our budget, we have to raise the revenues by asking millionaires and billionaires to pay their fair share. It's unfair that the middle class and the most vulnerable Americans have to bear the brunt of the recession caused by tax breaks and loopholes for millionaires and corporations, two unfunded wars, and the financial meltdown due to Republican deregulation. Simply cutting funds won't reduce the deficit. We cannot allow cuts to entitlements when the sick, the poor, and the aged are depending on the support to put food on the table and get access to healthcare. I stand with President Obama to protect Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid from Republican threats on the benefits that the American people have rightfully earned and deserve.
