What about small business people who have sacrificed for years to build something for themselves and their families and now they should "share" the results of their work? Like my BIL who built his business from the ground up by working round the clock for many, many years with my sister supporting him during that time. now they should "share" that with people who didn't work at all??? Big corporations I can agree with you on but that's not the whole picture.

Individuals, maybe. As for the party,

That may be the case. But it is up to individuals...
whether or not to get down and wallow in that kind of stuff or rise above it. I just wish more would rise above it. I don't think Obama thinks, because he is running for President, his children should be fair game and he should just roll over and take it because of what he is doing in his life. At least I hope he wouldn't. And I find it sad that some of his supporters do. That is all I am saying.

Yes. We are a group of individuals.
Did you lose your dictionary?

Perhaps...as individuals are responsible for the way they act...
and the politics of personal destruction, frankly, suck. No matter who is on the receiving end. And this has been particularly nasty, hateful and sexist toward Palin...but Obama supporters are a different breed. They cut the hide off Hillary in strips too. It is a strange phenomenon.

Only from under-eductated individuals. (nm)

40% (all individuals earing less than $57,400/yr) control
More than likely, that would include you, if you are an MT. Ask yourself this question. Do 40% of the population do less than 1% of the work? No? Then why do they control less than 1% of the wealth? This is about preventing the middle class from disappearing off the face of the nation. It's not welfare. It is about fair pay for fair work. MTs are constantly complaining about being paid what they are worth for the work they do. The relief they deserve will never come from the "right" side of pub. Don't you get that?

Amazing, huh? Big companies down to individuals
