and that list only went to 2004. So how many hardworking people do you know of in that category, I'm not talking about people that don't work, I'm talking about hard working Americans who at least deserve a living wage and to be able to retire with dignity after a lifetime of hard work, it sounds as though you would put them out on the streets for all their years of work, would you do that to your parents? Would you do it yourself? I still have to remind you, these are the fire fighters, the cops on the beat, the road crew the sewer and water crews, there is apparently a lot more they do for you then you understand, those working poor!

All those downtrodden you mention, fire fighters, the cops on the beat, the road crew the sewer and water crews, MAKE more than $60,000. And have superb health care plans and retirement plans well beyond the average worker.
And the average worker gets what he earned, an average retirement. If that is good or bad it is the average workers fault or credit, not yours, mine OR the Governments!
ONLY by thinking that what he gets out of life is equal to what he put in, is unfair, can one possibly, insanely, think that taking from someone else IS fair!
The person that got rich, got rich. The person that got poor, got poor. THAT IS FAIR!
What it isn't is liberal hokum!
