If the current economic crisis had been caused by drought, natural disasters, attacks from enemies or some other external cause “shared sacrifice” might make some sense.

However, this crisis has been caused by greedy, stupid, corrupt home buyers, lenders, investment bankers, bond rating agencied, and politicians.

This is not a time for “shared sacrifice” but a time for the guilty to reap the negative consequences of their bad behavior.

The innocent are already suffering a great deal of collateral damage from the actions of these evil doers. To ask them to sacrifice more to so the evil doers can avoid their just deserts is an outrage!

Also, if we are going to have “shared sacrifice” I believe it should start with the 40% of Americans who pay no Federal Income Taxes at all. The ACORN and union freeloaders who consume vast amounts of taxpayer dollars, while contributing little or nothing should start paying their fair share.
