Al Franken stole the election. There was a lot of voter fraud going on. Minnesotans are generally not very bright when it comes to politics, but seriously, even we have a limit.

Liberals also can’t define the words “fair share” and what percentage of income of the rich should be their fair share. Nothing will be a fair share of the rich unless the gov’t takes 100% of their income.

The ‘’rich’’ Obama speaks of is anyone with a job.

"Middle class" is a term borrowed from England- has no place belonging in America- a made-up phrase for a non existent social entity

Webster-1887 "Middle Class"- In England, people who have an intermediate position between the nobility or leisured class and the working class."

[Theodore R.]

To Warren’s way of thinking, there are only two classes. The communist elite and everyone else (the unwashed masses) that they rule over

So true of the citizens of socialist MA.

The original descriptions were something like:

1) Working class: if you work for someone else for a paycheck, then you're working class.

2) Middle class was defined as doctors, lawyers, small business owners, and senior management of large corporations, and those of similar income -- people with some degree of independence.

3) The wealthy were those who could maintain an opulent lifestyle off of the income from their investments.
