Chuck Schumer (D-NY) recently pointed out that the political plates have shifted, and that the GOP is having a “tough time messaging their way out of the box they’ve put themselves in now that the country’s clamoring for fairness for the middle class even if it means higher taxes on wealthy people.”
We need to thank OSW and Occupy Delaware for that, because it sure as hell wasn’t “Democratic” Congressman John Carney leading the push back. Schumer doesn’t come right out and mention OWS, but he might as well have.
“We’ve had four republicans now talk about taxes on incomes of over a million dollars. If you don’t keep at it you’re not going to change their view and the purpose is that the public comes to our side on this issue and they feel it.”
Awesome. But what now? How about we thank Occupy Delaware in some tangible way. I know they need tarps and stuff, but I’m open to suggestions. The floor is yours.
