Baseless speculation...More groundless speculation.Try reading the papers, Southack, and read up on the tax increases being proposed around the country, and the ones that have already passed. And fine, if you want to remove increased taxes from the equation, do it. There are still plenty of downward pressures on middle-class incomes in the tech sector.

We've just had federal tax cuts, not tax increases. Blaming Bush for **your state's** tax hike, if any, would be a bit unfair, dishonest, and perhaps disingenuous.
Are there downward pressures on the middle class? Of course. And there always will be, but the middle class hasn't shrunk as you've claimed, and in fact national salaries have INCREASED over the last five years.
What we've got around on this thread are probably just some laid-off techies who are upset that the glory days of the dot com boom aren't coming back, however, hence the readiness, no, hence the EAGERNESS to criticize our President for merely rephrasing a reporter's question...
