"Trickle-down economics had always made sense to her"

[sniffa]

From rural, Indiana

Dee Stark, 43, a secretary at a small college in Hanover, voted for Bush twice. But the bailout scared her. Where is all that money going to come from? she wondered. Trickle-down economics had always made sense to her, but now she finds herself agreeing with Obama that it's time to ask the wealthy to contribute more - and give the middle class a break.

"I never thought this before, but I just think the rich need to realize that they . . . need to step up and do more than the average Joe," she said as she loaded groceries into her car outside Kroger's supermarket in Madison.

6. She needs to develop this a little further. She needs to understand that

the wealthy have benefitted from the tinkle-down of the last 8 years. Plus, the wealthy use alot of the infrastructure of our country as much, if not more, than the average person. They benefit more from the regulation of the financial system (such as it is), the transportation infratructures, and the safety provided by the military.

She needs to be able to defend her evolving position. I hope she spreads her attitude around.
