55. I have been reading these posts tonight and I am troubled
by the general overall "anti-taxpayer", "big government program"
attitude shown by some democrats. Why do some of us think that
government should pay for everything without limitation as long as that
something is some sort of social service or welfare program?

We need to get away from that attitude. It won't play with middle
America anymore. We need to take back the taxpayers from the Wingnuts.
This can be done if we support the creation of living wage jobs for the middle
class, legal immigration, provision of healthcare services,
elimination of corporate welfare and privilege for
the wealthy and relief for working class taxpayers. The people in the middle
are feeling the pain. We need to show that we can relieve that pain.
