Ignore the above. Part of my research I wanted to have when I leave office.

No I don’t want everyone poor. I don’t even care if we have a few rich around. What I like is justice across the spectrum. Problem with GOP has been that critical mental functions stop working the higher up the income ladder they look.

They expect responsibility from welfare recipients. So do I. I think people should work if they are on welfare, and if they don’t I would have them out picking up garbage ont he side of the road. Whatever, no sitting home watching TV if you are able-bodied.

Problem is, many jobs don’t pay enough for a person to live, even marginally without help from gov’t. This is BS. Rich compnaies and employers should have to pay a livable wage floor.

Will all people make the same. Of course not. But how do you care so little for those who can’t make it, and care so much for the those who have more than enough, particulalrly when a lot of these big companies are using taxpayer money to subsidize their workers. That is crap. Problem is the GOP doesn’t see a lot of the corporate welfare. They don’t see the screwings that go on daily agaisnt the poor and middle class.

Above is perfect example. Bush helped the banks and credit card companies and said to heck with the poor debtors. Now 7 1/2 years later, we have this little bo-bo with bad loans and now some are starting to come around and realize responsibility applies to all income brackets. And wjhile the rich will lose some, most of them will have a roof over their head. And 2 Mercedes. And a bank account.

The victims who had $100,000 in their 401K and watched it go to $50,000, are SOL. The people who lose their homes are SOL.

Sorry, but it is GOP who is mainly responsible for this debacle. Not Barney Frank. Not the poor. Not the CRA.

parsy, who says the rules should apply for everybody
