we can take 1% of our defense budget and put it towards education. we wouldn't be less safe and teachers and librarians would make middle class wages and every child would have a nutritious lunch regardless of income like rich kids would want to eat the lunch it would be so tasty (and healthy) among many other things. and take and equal amount out, 1% for health care and some of our new smart people (remember the education dollars) could make yacht club wages to help people instead of hassle with insurance companies and midicare.
and start up the the most expensive part.
but the rich hate the middle class. look at how they influence, they like us poor so we can be charity and pets.

The rich hate everyone.... and the middle class feel taken advantage of and piss and moan because the lower class gets fancy help like welfare and medicaid. The rich don't understand that the middle class are struggling to take care of themselves and working desperately and are relying on credit (ie: debt) to carry their expenses from year to year. The middle class doesn't understand that the working poor are struggling to take care of themselves and working desperately relying on both credit AND welfare to pay even their most basic food/housing/heat bills.

But, when the top 5% of earners hold 22% of the countries wealth... there is no way to escape this cycle unless they LET IT GO!... which, of course, they are refusing to and modern government is to weak to tell them no.

when i said "they like us poor" i should have said "they want us poor" i think my meaning would have carried.
the main problem is that too many not-rich people vote like they are rich. thus taking money from their own pockets and putting in the pockets of people who don't need the money. this is a country of the HAVES and the BEEN HADS. bill maher said it the most eloquently i have heard it in recent memory on 11-02 of this year.

Oooh, we keep torrents of Bill Maher, but forget to watch them regularly. I will check that one out. The only times I don't agree with Bill are on the subjects of Islamo terrorism (he loves be scared by the turban-heads, doesnt he?) and marriage (yes, Bill, marriage isnt for you. thats obvious. But it still might work for other people once in awhile ( ... )
