Stevenash continues to ignore that the rich continue to get significantly richer while the middle class struggles.

Do you not see an issue with the shrinking MIDDLE CLASS?

If there were no "contributions" in the last two elections, what effect would it have had on the outcome? So we need more in the middle class? Ok- Do we try to lift some of the lower class up to the middle class or do we tax the upper class until they become part of the middle class?  We have more programs aimed at helping the lower class than we have ever had and it is proof that throwing more money at it is not the answer.

We agree. Why can't Smitty, Stevenash and jv_coach be more reasonable like you?

If someone has different viewpoints then they're automatically labeled a communist or socialist.. but then get mad when someone wrongly labels them a racist.

I agree to much money goes to these crooks but everyone wants to blame the folks spending the money and in my opinion the blame should lay at the feet of the crooks taking the money . I think there should be a very low amount of $ one can contribute but if more is given the hammer should fall on the taker not the giver!

Just like those guys who thought Obama wasn't a US citizen! Gosh darn those uninformed voters :D :lol:

I know you joke but most of the voters seem clueless just like you!

Blatantly making stuff up are we? Taken right out of the republican handbook 101 manual chapter 1 :lol:

What you and the President want is not equal opportunity but equal outcomes

Uninformed voters are the worst, I agree. Half the country thought Obama wasn't a legal US citizen for christs sake! :lol: :lol: :lol: 

The biggest problem we face is your answer to question #1 its called uninformed citizens and voters! Your not gonna hear it on the nightly news (state run media) you have to do a small bit of research. very small bit!  One can go back and listen to YObamas speeches from a few yrs. ago and listen now and his lies are their for everyone to hear!

Wait.. you think the middle class wasn't shrinking before Obama took office? :lol: :lol: :lol:

Or maybe it took a black guy to become president before people started paying attention

Average income is down since the current crowd took over. 

Term limits is only part of the solution. Next step is to end the legal bribery that goes on. Whoops I meant campaign "contributions"

Have you ever heard of a politician going to DC and leaving with less wealth than they came while only making a small salary! Follow the money!!!! Term limits is the answer, vote em all out!

If I didn't know any better I'd think this was satire!

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Communism has never worked and never will.  So ECO please go and hang out with Jay Carney and stare at his communist propaganda posters.

So what you're saying is the middle class just needs to pull "pull ourselves up by our bootstraps"

Question 1 - Not sure what scandals you're referring to since I don't have time to sit in front of fox news all day. I'm going to attribute it to politicians being politicians. What else is new

Question 2 - The Federal Government obviously is incredibly ineffecient at almost anything they do

Fine, Mr. Independent- Now please answer the questions that I asked you.

Next!

You automatically group people into two groups, democrat or republican.

Has it ever occured to you that sometimes the best choice is neither? Shocking revelation.. I know :D

How is poverty trickling up when the rich are getting significantly richer? I thought wealth was supposed to trickle down?

Wealth trickle down?  RIght now, poverty is trickling up.  Therefore, the current "approach" has increased the number of "unfortunate" rather than decreasing it.

Do you believe in the notion of a country being as strong as its middle class? Yes or No.

Look at the following illustration. The top 0.1% has rebuilt its share of the wealth to levels seen during the ROARING TWENTIES. Go read a history book and you'll notice that was right before the Great Depression.

Rich get richer because money grows exponentially and the supply/demand imbalance of skilled/unskilled workers

Middle class gets outsourced and their pensions slashed so Fat Cat Bob can get a bigger bonus

Poor remain poor because they make terrible life choices for the most part

It just blows my mind how you guys can defend the ultra rich while they outsource the middle class because you're too busy distracted by religion, abortion and welfare debates.

Smitty, Stevenash and TVC. I've missed you guys so much :P
