"The Obama-Biden Plan The American dream is increasingly out of reach for many people. Americans with incomes below $100,000 have experienced stagnating wages, declining health care coverage, erosion of pension protections, rising personal debt, and jobs disappearing as a result of global competition and rising housing costs. Further, the gap between America’s richest and poorest is at its widest points in at least 25 years. At a time when costs are rising and Americans are working harder just to keep up, Barack Obama will provide relief for the middle class and support for working people."

Yeah...so does the bolded statement mean that 100K is now the cutoff point for rich (The rest of the text following the statement seems to imply that)

I really hope the Suburbanites that voted for obama realize the full impact of what they did. All I can say right now is “You voted him in...I get to blame you for what he does...Morons”

“The American dream is increasingly out of reach for many people”

That’s because people who want the dream are unwilling to work for it. Conceive, build, and maintain are how people achieve their dreams.

That’s how Bill Gates and Steve Jobs built their businesses.

“jobs disappearing as a result of global competition”

If people from around the world get useful degrees and have solid marketable skills, they are the ones who will get the jobs. I heard that the Brits are complaining that the Eastern Euros are taking their jobs, but they’re the ones with solid degrees and can speak many languages.

Frankly no one is entitled to a job anymore and that’s way some people are falling and staying behind.

“declining health care coverage”

Health care coverage is expensive, but with all the lawsuits against the medical industry it’s no wonder. Furthermore, there are a lot of people who demand that one thing after another be covered by insurance companies.
