Nothing will change as long as the majority of the electorate receive a hand out and that covers a huge spectrum. We have the low income entitlement groups and the high income entitlement groups with those of us in the middle carrying the load. Blame lies with both of the major parties but oddly the Republicans have faced the ire of the electorate more so than the Democrats. I ponder why when so much more of the damage is linked to the Democrat party. Then I realized the importance of the entitlement groups in the voting booth. Dems have historically been quick to establish dependency on the federal trough which builds voting allegiances to the provider.
It is time for the those in the middle to wake up and smell the coffee. We carry the burden and not complain which has gotten us where? Time for us to exclaim "we''ve had enough and we are not going to take it anymore".

Hard Times, But Big Wall Street Bonuses

Hard times, but big political contributions continue to members of congress. Companies understand that you cannot have your most effective employees go somewhere else.

Why is it that these cats at the high end of the food chain need big bonuses with our economy in the shark tank? I guess the fat cat democrats have been receiving big donations from these fat cat bankers and don''t want the gravy train to miss their station stop. These are people that cause our economic problems, along with all the economics and finance experts in congress and the media, why the reward? They ought to be taken to the town square and pilloried and whipped, every last one of them. The people abetting this situation, Senators, Representatives, Media bigwigs in the tank and foreign interests should get the same treatment. Posting them out of town would be a good idea too. ROBBER BARONS, can you say that? I hope you can.

And all executive managers should be forced to wear dunce caps and "I''''m with Stupid" t-shirts and paraded down Wall Street so US taxpayers can mock and ridicule them.
