The highly intelligent and best educated couples are having the fewest children. The opposite is also true.

Ineptocracy:

(in-ep-toc'-ra-cy) - a system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.

Looks like an apt description of the years 2001-2009.

There were more of those least able to sustain themselves drawing welfare back then? Surely those who pay the taxes are being put upon now but back in the Bush days their taxes weren't anything compared to what they will be next year.

Hail, old whitey, you and I will be paying more in income taxes as soon as the Bush-Obama taxes are allowed to expire. Obama talks about raising taxes for the "rich" but will do so to all of us who pay taxes.

Please. You are far from qualified to comment on the class of any posts. here.

Misogyny and bigotry on a daily basis makes most people tune out.

The only problem with wearing it is that you'll have to spend time each day explaining its meaning to those that drink the O's KoolAid.
