POPSHow to Save the Middle Class from Extinction Krugman is correct in saying that this is not the middle class society that I grew up in! Maybe that's why so few people care much about "the two income family" just treading water to stay afloat.......the young families today don't have anything to compare their plight to.......they never lived in a society where one person could actually make enough money to keep his family in the necessities of life......those days are gone!

POPSDemocrat Class Warfare Now ... here's where the frustration comes in. Cavuto asks Senator Klobuchar whether or not she thinks that the 35% of earnings that the richest 1% earn now is enough; whether or not that's fair. He asked this question three times, and three times Klobuchar refused to answer it. She would launch into a discussion of rising tuition rates and health insurance premiums in Minnesota. Now excuse me ... but in what way do comments on rising tuitions and health insurance rates constitute a response to a question as to whether or not a 35% tax rate is high enough for evil high-achievers?

POPSYour MasterCard or Your Life! I think I read in that new bankruptcy law that the banks are allowed to "knee-cap" you if you don't make the payments. Also, they are now allowed to charge as much interest as they want.......wait a minute!......they have been allowed to do that all along now!.......even without the new law. Oh well!.....just as long as we get rid of all these deadbeats! Maybe they will die or something.......

POPSAre you trapped in the soulless exurbs? "The creation of an American oligarchy.....a steady Weimarization of the American working class. The top one percent of American households have more wealth than the bottom 90 percent combined." This is an interesting tribute to our "Growing Economy" that King George will be talking about in tomorrows State of the Union Address.

POPSHow can America be America My son served in the Peace Corps, and now works for the Peace Corps. He served in Panama for two years. His pay and living expenses was about $300 per month. I was unable to help him out financially, so he made it on his own for the most part. He now works for Peace Corps headquarters in Washington D.C., and has been in many different countries in the past several years.....some of which I can even pronounce the names, never mind understanding the geography. I know that his experiences has made him a better American Citizen, and a better human being. I am one proud father! If you are interested in the places he has been and the people and cultures he has experienced, go to www.webshots.com .....the screen name is "schreibe" the pictures are availabe for public view. The number of "views" average about 500 per week. Or, just look up a county ie "Suraname"
