Seems to me like anyone that's against Obama's plan seems to be in this "me me me" mindset we used to have in the 1980s. Pretty disgusting, if you ask me.

Ummmm no, I just think that people should work and earn what they get, not have it handed to them for doing squat. |

Neither candidate is addressing: borders, illegal immigration, NAFTA, huge levels of outsourcing, etc.
However, no one will deny that the stratification of wealth is more pronounced now than at any time in the past 80-90 years.
