    I Have To Admit

    The powers that really run this country have split the average Joes successfully once again. We now scream at each other because some guy makes two bucks an hour more than the next guy. No one is getting rich working the line regardless if they are in a union or not. The middle class drives this country. For the past eight years the average Joes have struggled just to keep their heads above water. Of course the wealthy have done real good. You people are getting angry at the wrong people, the people just trying to make a living. Hell if we had a single payor health care plan like the rest of the civilized world I doubt there would be anything to talk about. Except why the banks and greedy fucks on Wall St. got loads of money with no stipulations while there is still no ease on the credit crisis which is too blame as much as anything for the current auto crisis.
