Millionaires did become billionaires, but the new middle class is the old upper class now as well.
I personally don't care how much Bill Gates or Warren Buffet rakes in every year.
"That somehow went away for the profit of the wealthy"?
How did welfare reform magically take money from the poor and give it to the rich?
I doubt "middle-class" families were put out on the streets by welfare reform, as if they were truly "middle-class" they wouldn't be on welfare.
I know the dems think that you're rich if you have a family of 5 and make $75,000 a year, but the "middle-class" being put out on the streets by welfare reform? Give me a break.
Just a test, In what ways are "we" not doing so well?  |
My point is that not evey one on welfare was robbing the system. The govt. needs to stop those who don't deserve it from getting it. And with the removal there are still some who don't deserrve it getting a check, food stamp etc.

Welfare reform didn't put any middle class familes into the streets but the Housing Crisis did. And who was behind that? We will know much more in the near future.
In fact I never mentioned welfare reform did I. Your training did you well. Your the one using that one to pass of our current economy situation, not me!
