Ironically, if the people without the wealth really knew what they were talking about, they would be the people with the wealth.

(BTW, we are anything but, 'wealthy' -- yet still believe in the American system of working for what we get, instead of expecting others with more, to give it to us).

Here's a good example of voluntary amnesia, we just saw the robbery of our national treasury by those with the money (banks, car companies, investment houses, and insurance corporations) through their friends in government they TOLD us, DEMANDED of us, to give up our money, they wanted the poorest of workers to ante up some of their hard earned money to give to the folks with the money... MORE money.Talking through the trousers?

What i've noticed is that most people, regardless of relative wealth, want laws enacted that will give them the best opportunity to increase their own wealth.

I would really like to see a website of all the money collected in each state and the USA as a whole. I am sure that would be an eye opener. Redistributing wealth sounds socialistic to me. We are not supposed to be redistributing anything. We are supposed to be paying a fair share of taxes and the tax laws need to be so that happens.

I would also like to see how each dollar is being spent. I heard a statement this week that is so true. It said something about the amount of money the government is wasting and then went on to say that when they decide to cut spending, the only two places they want to cut is SS and military.

My opinion on this is that the military spending should only be what is necessary, but that should be top priority because it is spent to keep us safe. I also think every dollar that is given to people who have paid nothing in should be taken out of the budget before anything is taken from those of us that have been paying in for decades.

And this dream bill is for the birds and anyone who votes for it deserves to lose their jobs--but I guess that is the democrats revenge on those of us that have voted them out. You don't stop wrongs from happening by rewarding those that did the wrong. These people are nothing but a drain on our country. Congress, have you lost your minds. If that is the best you can do--GO HOME and mow the lawn or shovel snow. Stop destroying this country.
