2. Might cheese some centrists off, but there it is.
This doesn't mean we dislike the President or the people he picks. It means he was elected to reverse the disastrous course of empire and right the ship so it works for EVERYone, not just the affluent.

It was President Obama himself who once said "A nation cannot prosper long when it favors only the prosperous".

Wealth cannot continually keep getting rocketed to the top with scrapin's for the rest of us. Things HAVE to change, particularly in wages. You CANNOT keep laying off workers, offshoring jobs, not raising/stagnating wages, cutting benefits, shifting more risk onto us and think you're going to have a stronger economy. You CANNOT do it. And Repubs need to stop with this "tax cut" crapola; pretending a tax cut's going to give you a steady paycheck or a raise aint'a gonna make it so.

NOTHING is built from the TOP down. NOTHING. The rich make no sacrifice and care only about profits above people. It's time they swallowed some bitter pills and FAST, or we're all in deep shit.
