Z,
when democrats repeat daily that the solution to all of our country's social ills is to raise taxes, what conclusion should be reach?

Penalizing the people who don't need help isn't going to do one damn thing to help the people who really need help. Let's help those people that could use the help, not tear down those who are wrongly accused of creating the problems.

Oldest trick in the book of the 40 year great society. Class warfare has to end before ANY change will be accomplished.

Don't you get tired of politicians every four years promising the moon with class warfare and nothing getting done? Or do you even see it?

Z, there was a question asked by Pastor Rick Warren at Saddleback to the two candidates. How would you define "rich"?

latimes.com

I think both candidates missed the mark. The truth is that almost everyone here is "rich."

I've seen a family with a 3,000 ft2 home and a pool in their backyard call themselves "middle class." This was in an article talking about $800/month utility bills. I've also seen a family on HGTV trying to sell their $900K home in the East Coast call their own neighborhood "middle class."

WTF is that? My home is worse than those of the "middle class" families I just pointed out. Yet I'm being branded "rich" by liberals who want to take my hard-earned money and give it to those less fortunate than I am.

Fine, I'm "rich." We all are. I've always believed that. Now can we quit with the class warfare nonsense and focus on what we can do for our country, not what our country can do for us?
