Re: Your tax dollars at work

Rich is relative, which is why I reject the austerity for the rich before the 
"common man".   You may not consider yourself rich but to the average Ironwood, 
MI unwed mother on the dole, in spite of repeated and generational 
irresponsibility, I'm quite confident you are.   

Which is why I don't want the govt., you, Goldman Sachs, or Thom defining what 
is rich or determining who gets austerity first, or at all.  And why I don't 
think govt. taxing/spending policy should be based on anyone's income level.

The evils and crimes of Wall Street should be addressed with enforcement of 
existing laws and reinstatement of laws/regulations such as Glass-Steagall, 
(that was repealled at the behest of the greedheads on Wall Streert).  And the 
evil of the current welfare state needs to be addressed.  Both should happen, 
but it doesn't matter which order they are done in and the failure to address 
one does not justify the failure to address the other.

I'm not bluffing.  ( and I'm not rich either).  Unlike the rich and poor, I'm 
one of those 30% of people paying taxes to fund the other 70%.  Stupid is what 
I'd say I am.
