Why The Denial?

That seems too optimistic--in fact, a crisis like this will probably make things even worse than they already are.

Thank you for grouping people with high paying middle class jobs into some sort of class that does not pay taxes or hire workers or contribute to society. I mean geez, no yuppies I know are into technology. I guess these people are not "real businessmen" or maybe we should get out of the way of the real men like the homebuilders that helped us get into this situation. Also Coffee is spelled with two ee's and maybe you should come live in Seattle and tell me how many jobs the coffee houses produce and they get paid damn well if they make good coffee ($15-20 per hour). What we don't want to do is start point our fingers at the middle class saying they are part of the problem when THEY ARE THE SOLUTION.
