Reply #9: the point is to re-distribute the wealth in this country

upward.

so the haves keep getting more while the rest of us who've gladly put in 40 hours a week, saved a little here and there, and believed in the notion of upward mobility get screwed.

if an undocumented, illegal alien is willing to take $2 an hour for a job americans have been doing for $7 an hour, our government thinks it's perfectly acceptable to be on the side of owners, as opposed to workers, and support the people who'll take $2. then patronizingly tell americans they could have those jobs, too, provided they'll work for $2 an hour.

the purpose is to enrich business owners and keep good, fair wages out of the hands of average americans. in their eyes, we should rent houses from them, rather than own our own. our kids don't need to go go college; they weren't born in the right caste. cars? we don't need a new car every couple of years. if we want to drive a big, fancy car, maybe we can drive their limousines.

that disgusting attiitude is one of the hallmarks of this batch of republicans and about as anti-american as you can get. if thomas jefferson or andrew jackson could rise up from the grave, there'd be hell to pay.
