"sblake63 - I''ve heard liberals also say "the rich get socialism; bailed out with our tax dollars. Meanwhile it''''s free enterprise for the rest of us and damned if you lose."

I can tell you I think the statement is correct. Who is getting help in this mortgage mess ? Banks, wall street and investors. NO HELP FOR HOMEOWNERS. The rich are socialists/communist (give me a dna sample as you pee in this cup to keep ur job) and the rest of us are fed a fantasy of hard work or starve. It only applies to the bottom rungs of the ladder.

And here it`s the same. The rich live in huge villas, the poor live in overpopulated refugee camps

What, like Wars in Iraq??

If we didn''t complain, I''d bet GW''d take the debt to $20 trillion. That, ALSO, is your money. Has it been spent on things you needed?

[sgtrds]

But the rest of us don''''t have to worry - DickNBush and the Repugs assure us that we''''ll get all that trickle down! Though it seems I''''ve been waiting a long time for my share of that.

The trickle down theory is that if you give the very rich enough wine that eventually they''ll have to take a leak and the rest of us get to get trickled down upon.

Want some cheese with that whine cry baby? Sorry there will always be rich and poor. And EVERY time thru history when a government tries to tinker with people''s money and redistribute wealth you end of with failed systems - Remember the USSR? LOL.

Your colorful anti Bush, GOP remarks are insane lol. Check your facts most democrats in congress and the to socialists running for
office on their side are RICH. Think they care about you and they are going to take money from people such as themselves and "screw"
the rich for the "little man". Oh Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee it wont change dude... Face it!

I am far from rich. But sitting here like you with visions of them at cocktail parties living it up doesn''t cause me to burn with rage. Dude it was like that in days of old and it shall NEVER change. Face it loll. Focus your energy on where your going to spend your eternity in the next world loll. Because you certainly shall NOT be changing anything in this one.

I''ll admit, I''m not poor. I just want a better society that can only be paid for by taxing the rich appropriately, rather than letting them run roughshod over this nations economic and political landscape. I see what they have in Canada and Western Europe, and I selfishly WANT that here. They PROVE it can be done without going outside the bounds of a normal capitalism-oriented society.

You''re telling me to ''quit complaining and put my nose to the grindstone'', but I''m old enough to have known this country when it knew how to tax the rich and build a truer, more cohesive society. I miss that and I want it back. As for work, I''ll bet I work harder than you.

What''s your take on their viewpoint?

[sgtrds]

This is class warfare and the elite are winning.

[sblake63]

LOL the "have nots" will always complain. The poor dude lamenting over his meat packing business. His so called demise didnt happen instantly. Sounds like he didnt put away money for rainey day when he was moving 100,000 of meat lol.

You always hear democrats and their brainwashed follower say "most a are one paycheck away from being homeless". That is nonsense. The problem is that most people DO NOT SAVE their money for "hard times". They get a tax return, or other large sum of money and what do most of them do? Blow it within days or weeks.Then comes a lay off or illness and that person finds the nearest "sucker" news organization who will wont ask them any hard questions about their spending habits or life choices.

What we end of with is a news peice that makes it look like the "rich" screwed this poor guy etc etc. Sure we are hard times with gas and food prices. But if you find yourself not being able to pay rent, you either have some lousey spending habits or you should have received a better education. Stop blowing your cash on things you DO NOT NEED and most of the time you''ll be OK !

But instead some of you come on here and blame Bush, GOP, gremlins lmao.. or what ever for YOUR failures. Its funny how I see videos of people in poor areas being interviewed carrying around 300 dollar ipods and fancy phones, but you can bet big cash these people blame everybody for their so call poverty instead of their greatest enemy - their own self ....

If you look carefully at the picture that goes with this article, you''ll catch a clue as to why there is this ''chasm'' between rich and poor:

The rich on the left are all fit and trim and upright, while the poor on the right are overweight, hulking, brutes.

Fortunately, there are more rich than poor (3 to 2). I sure wouldn''t want to meet those poor guys down a blind alley.

[wdrussell1]

Wise up folks. This ''IS'' the Grover Norquist plan for America.
To create a feudal society of Princes and peasants.

[sgtrds]

The economic goal of the neoconservative movement is to have a tiny, but very wealthy and powerful upper class. A tiny tiny group of middle-class managers (read overseers). And a large lower class of basically serfs who work for the landed gentry of the new royalty.

Rich/Poor Income Gap Widening = Bush economics.

[truthspeake2]

The current administration has made this perfectly clear...I just hope that none of my tax $$$ were wasted doing a study to gather this new found info, because I could have told them this for free!

[ubrew12]

You know whats NEWS about this article?

That its NEWS to CBS!!!

[veteran72]

"Many, Schmidt observes, can''t understand the two economies: one for them, another for the super-wealthy or conglomerates."

It''s called Criminal Corporate Neocon Fascist Nazism.
It''s leaders are Shrub and Darth.
When confronted with the devistation they''ve brought to America and it''s Middle Class,
they respond with: "So"???

This is your Nation.
This is your Nation on Neoconism.
Any questions???

[lefeaoux]

All this speculation from everyone on WHY the economy stinks right now but the REAL problem remains un-addressed! BRING AMERICAN JOBS BACK TO AMERICA you morons! They gripe about unemployment, they cry about the economy and then turn around and send millions of jobs per year to Mexico, Canada, China, Taiwan, Afghanistan and the Philippines. What the heck do they THINK is going to happen when corporate America is allowed to send all our manufacturing jobs over-seas where they can exploit all the poor schmucks over there by making them work 14-18 hour days and pay them $28 per month for it.

[ddaryl1]

No kidding... You don''t say. So what are you going to do about it ? Nothing.. that''s what I figured. just remember America when people get more and more desperate there going to do desperate things to survive... Our government says watch out for teroists, what they don''t tell us is that we are going to be creating a breed of home grown terroists willing to do anything it takes because they have little to lose....

[veteran72]

Man, I never saw this coming......Duuuuuuuuuhhhh....
