Everyone must "sacrifice" in this economy.
But, so far, the only people I see that are "sacrificing" are those that lost their jobs or were already "sacrificing" because they are homeless or hungry. I don't see a lot of sacrifice from anyone else? We don't want the Bush taxcuts to expire because we might have to pay 5% more in taxes. The wealthy don't want to pay more in taxes. We don't want to stop shipping jobs overseas. We don't want to sacrifice anything. We only want to talk about it.

2. A lot more people are sacrificing than the ones you listed. But,
they most definitely don't include the greedy rich bastards who's goal in life is to acquire more wealth. nt

3. Remember - "corporations are people too!"
I'm so sick of the thought that it's OK for corps and the top $$$ people to NOT have to sacrifice, because if we make them do that, they'll take the jobs away.

It's blackmail.

4. I personally cannot think
of a single politician who is sacrificing one damn thing. Except maybe his soul.
