Yeah. The poor and middle class are really a lot worse off in this country than they were a hundred years ago, aren't they, dumb*? Yes, they are, o brilliant one. Spread between classes DO NOT indicate a class is in worse shape than it was at some previous time. Maybe some times the spread doesn't matter but in this case, it does. Or is that too difficult a concept for your rather limited brainpower? If the poor and middle class are in such bad shape in this country, why is it so many people are trying to get in here? We have many myths in this country........horatio alger, pull yourself up by your bootstraps, the streets are lined with gold, someone born to poverty can become a millionaire in his lifetime etc. People want to believe in myths.....hence they kill themselves tryng to get here. Once they are here and learn the truth, they are stuck........so then they pass their hopes onto their children. There are other myths as well........the GOP is fiscally conservative and they are better at war than the Dems. Sadly, both are just more GOP spin as we all have found out these past six years. It amazes me with all the screwups you all have pulled that you are not asking for our forgiveness. Instead, you are as pompous and stupid sounding as you all were 6 years ago. A deficiency in the genes? Yeah, I think so.
