Why do you worry about rich folks so much? Who they marry or hang out with? Geez man they didn't just wake up rich...they either worked for it, willed to them or yes married into it. Don't forget some of these political folks spewing this garbage are rich.

I wonder if the rich folks blame you for the state of this country as much as you seem to blame them? Please define rich for me as well. I would like to know how much you earn before you get lumped into this catagory of being the cause for our nations problems.

Just spent several weeks with some folks who grew their own garden as a young married couple to help feed their kids, shopped at second hand clothes stores and worked long hours just to make ends meet. They are now so wealthy its amazing but to listen to the sacrifices they made for their three kids while building for the future blows me away. Folks like this who earned their way and play the stock market and never purchased new cars and homes or latest gadgets and educated themselves are what makes this country great.

FYI... my house and life didn't turn upside down through all this either. It's because of a few things like not living beyond my means. Choosing a job (some luck was involved at first) that is service oriented and understanding from an early age that my decisions have consequences.

I just don't get it? Everything wrong with this country is because some rich people and GW caused it? Obamy gets a pass on everything he has done?
