47. You're assuming they haven't been sacrificed already? Their once
comfortable, solid - life supporting jobs have been shipped overseas and they've been retrained to work in Wal-Mart.

Their guaranteed pensions were stolen by Wall St in the 80's and "replaced" with 401K's that are quickly becoming worthless.

Their wages were kept low to the point that they aren't even making as much as they did in the 70's once inflation is factored in.

Now their home equity is trashed by the most recent Ponzi scheme while the robbers have made off with the profits.

Their schools and community services have been paid nothing but lip service for decades, while discussions are underway to sell it all off to private, for profit corporations.

Their health care has been stolen for the enrichment of the Pharmaceutical and Insurance companies.

Their representation in DC has been stolen by the lobbyists.

And their Constitutionally guaranteed civil rights to things like not being spied upon have been stolen by the man who took the Oath of Office to protect and defend those rights.

What exactly do you see that we have left to sacrifice?
