Yes, they are indeed. But I refuse, whether from panic or frustration, to fault the other dogs under the table for battling for scraps. That a school teacher may be getting 30% more than someone with similar education in the private sector is to me... nothing. 30% of nothing is nothing. Or to fault and punish pension holders, who worked and paid in for decades, because "they're getting more than me", well, that's the same envy Romney was talking about, just at a lower level--those people worked and saved, they played by the rules, they weren't moneylenders, why should they get screwed? Is everyone in this country getting poorer together? Human beings have an amazing capacity to suffer through rough spots together, but they absolutely suck when the suffering is not shared.Quote from Maverick74:
Well, at least one liberal on this forum is honest. Ricter, our kids are getting screwed in this country.
You really are bored with our politics aren't you?
