The rise of the middle class, coincides with the rise in unions, and the decline in the middle class coincides with the fall of unions. The empirical evidence for that is clear.

"I live in a rather special world. I only know one person who voted for Nixon. Where they are I don't know. They're outside my ken. But sometimes when I'm in a theater I can feel them." - Pauline Kael, December 28, 1972, New York Times Another irony is that liberals seldom use welfare. None of my friends are on it.

Liberals for the most part our huge hypocrites. They believe if they steal other peoples money in the form of taxes, they can be greedy and keep the millions they have. One of the main reasons so many limousine liberals dominate the Democratic party. Think about how easy it would be if you had the wealth of Warren Buffet to pay off every home loan in the state of Nebraska? Instead, he becomes the poster child to steal money from thousand of other people who have 1/10th of his wealth and the foreclosure rate on Americans impacted by Obamanomics goes through the roof. By whining the rich need to pay more taxes, he protects himself from criticism of what he's not doing with his billions to help the downtroden, while lining up dozens of high priced lawyers to fight paying taxes he owes. The ultimate hypocrite! huffingtonpost.com online.wsj.com
