50. Sorry, but it isn't Obama but rather the greedy rich who have made the rest

of America dislike them.

The greedy rich are rich, rich, richer than they have ever been while the middle class is losing ground. Hasn't Kyl seen the charts?

And then the greedy rich who make their fortunes in "free" international trade expect the middle class to take cuts in pay, have fewer choices as to jobs and STILL pay the taxes to keep our military going -- to protect the trade routes that the rich use to rob the rest of us.

No way. Kyl hasn't figured things out yet. He needs to take a deep breath and look at what is happening to the middle class in the country. It isn't business as usual for most of us.

We have good, middle-class friends who built up a business, employed lots of people and lost everything in the crash of 2008. They are just one example of prosperity lost, dreams lost, lives crushed by the greed of Wall Street.

Kyl is out of touch.
