Why do politicians always start at the bottom to cut?

Did you ever notice that the politicians always start the conversation to cut spending at the bottom. They seem to follow the lead of corporations. Every time a company wants to cut costs they look at the average person and cut hours, pay or jobs. They never look at solutions such as, how to be more efficient, cutting costs of material or better yet, cutting the labor costs of corporate leaders, including bonuses. Right now all we hear from Congress is entitlement spending, such as Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare. Do we need changes in these programs. Yes, and we need to start now. My question is the cost of subsidies to large corporations and the tax cuts to the wealthiest American. When we get spending under control and have our debt paid off and have a surplus, then we can look at tax cuts. Right now we have to take from everyone not just the regular person. Contact your representatives and the President to let them know that we are willing to sacrifice, but lets spread the pain around, for the first time, to the wealthiest and the large corporations. We have been supporting them for too long now. Remember one voice can change the world. Be that voice.
