My problem is not necassarily with you but rather with the propogandist "media" we have in this country, who purposefully confuses numbers and figures, and tries to obfuscate anything logical, all for their own corporate interests. The "truth" is - and everyone should agree on this, I would hope - the "truth" is that the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer, and the "middle class" is having to work 2x,3x,4x times as hard just to hang on.
Now some people think this is a good thing, the way it should be. But then again, some people prefer Kings and slavery to democratic freedom and equality (apparently). I do not. I am an AMERICAN and I do not believe in Kings.

I posted CBO numbers the propaganda comes from the left on this subject.
America's problem is isn't the successful, its the unsuccessful.
Every single person in the top 10 richest Americans outside of the waltons is self made.
that speaks to the land of opportunity, not some evil rich aristocracy. thats just nonsense.
And I absolutely dispute the middle class working 2,3, and 4x harder to hand on.
working twice as hard got me here. being satisfied with a dead end job and then bitching about it is NOT working 2, 3, or 4x as hard.
