Not only are they not serious....

They are serious plagiarizing the original Contract with America.

Sheesh, get creative and come up with your own stuff.

On taxes, the groups are calling for an end to Bush-era tax rates, a new higher tax bracket for millionaires and a surcharge on Wall Street trades of 1/20th of 1 percent. Schakowsky has proposed a 45 percent tax rate for millionaires and a 49 percent tax rate for billionaires.

Exactly a prescription for disaster. It is these "bad rich people" who create jobs, you numbskull! The gov't does NOT create jobs. It takes money away from consumers to give it to unproductive members of society so they can get reelected. Nope, you need spending CUTS, not more spending you IDIOTS!!!

The libs just spent a lot of money in Wisconsin, so they need another “stimulus” to top-up their coffers.

This has been brewing for a while in the House Socialists and they want Obama to take a stand on Stimulus 2 for the 2012 campaign.

FROM LINK:

In 10 bullet points, the contract calls for massive new spending and taxes.

At the top of the list are items Obama has been calling for: investing in infrastructure, clean energy, strengthening public education. These “winning the future” items were included in Obama’s 2012 budget, which was rejected unanimously in the Senate after it become focused on budget cutting.

The contract also calls for a crackdown on corporations to enforce equal pay for equal work, reforming Social Security by lifting the cap on payroll taxes, accelerating the pullout of troops from Afghanistan and overhauling the campaign finance system.

On taxes, the groups are calling for an end to Bush-era tax rates, a new higher tax bracket for millionaires and a surcharge on Wall Street trades of 1/20th of 1 percent. Schakowsky has proposed a 45 percent tax rate for millionaires and a 49 percent tax rate for billionaires.

“We have a jobs crisis, not a deficit crisis,” the contract reads.

“The federal government must act now to put Americans back to work, and that will require reversing the premature focus on deficit reduction,” Robert Borosage of the Campaign for America’s Future said. In a separate release he called for expanding AmeriCorps and creating new direct work programs he calls Urban Corps, Green Corps and Service Corps. He calls for direct intervention to prevent layoffs on the local level of teachers and police.

Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.)

Saw her on some program a few years back. Would not shut up in typical DemoRat way. A real piece of work. She needs a fist shoved down her piehole.

The leaders of this “contract” are SEIU, CPUSA and Van Jones.

It is a stimulus only for the thugs who advocate violent revolution.

Jan Schakowsky (Idiot -IL) is so devoid of any intelligence that if you put her and a box of rocks in an empty room the rocks would have a larger IQ.
