That's not my point Oncie. I don't give a rats ass about Obama. Obama or Romney or just about any other "Top Down Leader" aint going to pulll a rabitt out of his hat and make it all better. Hell will freeze over first. If we of the middle class want to create better economic conditions for our selves and have government that is more responsive to our needs then it will have to be a grass roots effort. Praying for some leader to come save our asses is a waste of time. We need to get off our asses and do it our selves. Starting at home and where we live and work.
Well, I agree w/ that, and have for some time. It doesn't take much to look at the trend on the gap between rich & everyone else to realize that it's going to end up at ridiculous extremes (and already is there in a certain way).
The masses are too busy, though. Most households have 2 working parents, who are working more, and busier than ever trying to figure out how to afford just the basics. When grassroots movements do start, they tend to be fairly extreme & marginalized. I don't see what will provide the impetus for change (and I hate to say or think that collapse is the only way...)
