Why should skin color make a difference?

Yeah, those wonderful job creators.

So Noble!
So Patriotic!
So Christian!

They are the ones gutting this country and leaving the ordinary citizens to pick up the pieces while they laugh their asses off on their way to deposit more millions into their off-shore bank accounts.

But YOU love them!

Middle class is fast being redefined down.
I am hearing a message from working people who say , why work?.. i can get free everything.. that is Obama's message.. .looks like the tax base will shrink and the truly needy will be in trouble when the countries takers rise and the rich are taxed to death and the middle class disappears.. this is Obamanation. We will default as the debt becomes unmanageable and the rich leave.

Why should I ask them?

You are the one who called out 'white'.
And I am sure there are 'colored' people living in the Scandinavian countries.

Um, please read again.

I did not say unions create jobs.

The job creators busted the unions whenever and wherever they could so they could hire the illegals and pay them crap, thereby putting millions of middle class workers out of work.

Understand now?

In the Delaware Valley, he says, more than 900,000 people don’t get enough food. And Clark says it’s no longer just those living below the poverty line.


“The bottom of the middle class is being forced to reach out and get assistance,” Clark tells KYW Newsradio. “Their income has not kept pace with inflation, and they’re being squeeze in a vise. They just cannot get through the month.”

Last I checked, there was plenty of beans and rice for sale in the grocery stores in Pennsylvania. You can fill up a belly for about $1 per person per meal. If "the bottom of the middle class" cannot manage that, then I guess we better start taking a good, hard look at what these people are spending their money on. Big screen televisions? Cable? Dish TV with 250 channels? iPhones? Maybe they need to get their priorities straight, ya think????
