You haven't heard me blame Mr. Bush for anything I don't believe although I agree there is a lot of that here along with blaming Mr. Obama for the state of our economy, I do believe the economy is the major concern that most of us have now and have had for some time now... I sincerely wish one of the candidates had an answer for us all but that doesn't seem likely at this time anyway... The major thing that haunts me is the dwindling pay check that a lot of us in the middle class have seen happening in the last several years, It seems the finances is gravitating to the richer americans and away from the middle class... We have always had and will probably always have the folks on the bottom who will prey on the system if they can and that bothers me as much as it bothers you and unfortunate they are in the same box with the folks who are unable to fend for themselves... I don't believe we can continue indefinitely spending more than we take in to answer your question about the deficit... I don't have a magic plan to solve that problem but I don't believe decimating the middle class for the sake of making the rich richer is the answer.
Unless someone has been watching too much MSNB (All Al Sharpton all the time) and fallen hook line and sinker for Democrat class warfare BS, it is hard for me to see how a person could make the statements you did in your post I responded to.

I'm not rich, and grew up dirt poor so I have nothing against lower income or middle class people. The so called rich are paying roughly 70% of the federal taxes in America, while a full 50% of the population pays nothing. In fact lower income people can get a federal tax 'refund' of way more than they paid in to begin with.

What would you have the government do to narrow the wealth gap?
