Outcasts: Tonight Tens Of Thousands Of Formerly Middle Class Americans Will Be Sleeping In Their Cars, In Tent Cities Or On The Streets... Economic despair is beginning to spread rapidly in America. As you read this, there are millions of American families that are just barely hanging on by their fingernails. For a growing number of Americans, it has become an all-out battle just to be able to afford to sleep under a roof and put a little bit of food on the table. Sadly, there are more people than ever that are losing that battle. Tonight, tens of thousands of formerly middle class Americans will be sleeping in their cars, even though that is illegal in many U.S. cities. Tens of thousands of others will be sleeping in tent cities or on the streets. Meanwhile, communities all over America are passing measures that are meant to push tent cities and homeless people out of their areas. It turns out that once you lose your job and your home in this country you become something of an outcast. Sadly, the number of “outcasts” is going to continue to grow as the U.S. economy continues to collapse.

Maybe Obama should spend the night in the presidential
limo, you know, in solidarity with the rest of the
country.
“I feel yore pain.” Nope that won’t work.
“Malaise.” Nope not that either.
I know....
“80 percent of Americans want higher taxes.”
Yeah, that’s the ticket!
I’m actually quite “poor” by most standards but I’m very frugal. The result is that what would put most people out on the street means tightening my belt.
It helps that I own my home free and clear and I don’t have a family to care for.
I’m not looking forward to winter and those necessarily skyrocketing energy costs.
And, in the meantime, more third world leftovers with nothing to offer this country keep on pouring in and signing up for welfare. And Congress remains mute.
It was great knowing you, America.
I’m not looking forward to winter and those necessarily skyrocketing energy costs.
Not to worry. The EPA will come to our rescue./s
Sleeping in one’s car is tough, yes. Sleeping in prison when youre sharing the cell with five ghetto gangbangers...that is soul crushing.
I think I’d settle for sleeping in my truck.
Just so the lapdogs of Wall St. raise the debt ceiling so their stocks and bonds won’t suffer. That is the #1 group our government is concerned about. After all, there’s an election next year, and homeless, helpless middle class families won’t give fat campaign donations to the ruling class of both parties.
That is the question. To be . . . or not to be.
Obama and his cohorts in Congress are well on their way to creating the All-American Ghetto. Their goal of redistributing the wealth is to bring everyone down, rather than have anyone come up, so that more and more will look to government for relief. A government that cannot afford itself because of the career politicians who are destroying the very fiber of our way of life.
To crawl . . . or not to crawl?
To starve . . . or not to starve?
To walk upright on two legs . . . or to hobble along like an animal on four legs?
I hear you...
the one positive factor you have going for you is you have pupsters to keep you warm at night...ha.!
I haven’t seen any such unfortunates yet, but I wouldn’t be surprised if that changed.

“After all, there’s an election next year, and homeless, helpless middle class families won’t give fat campaign donations to the ruling class of both parties.”
In a nutshell.
Why did the governor of Hawaii raise taxes on the middle class and drastically reduce their mortgage interest deduction?
