OBAMA MIDDLE CLASS OF THE FUTURE - Still hopin' for change.....

They drive cars, but seldom new ones. They earn paychecks, but not big ones. Many own homes. Most pay taxes. Half are married, and nearly half live in the suburbs. None are poor, but many describe themselves as barely scraping by.

Down but not quite out, these Americans form a diverse group sometimes called “near poor” and sometimes simply overlooked — and a new count suggests they are far more numerous than previously understood

"None are poor, but many describe themselves as barely scraping by."

Ah, yes. There are two types of people. There are those who are content with their lives and there are those who spend the day talking about their hard-earned money. I never did understand that term considering we all change money back and forth. The plumber buys groceries from the local grocer. The local grocer pays the plumber to do some work. Whose money is hard-earned? The electrician does some work for the small electronic shop owner and then buys a TV from him. Whose money was hard-earned and who made easy-earned money?
 
give obama another 4 years so the liberal keynesian model can be thoroughly discredited. 8 years will be a period that the only the most blindly partisan idiot could continue to blame Bush instead of Obama.

But the liberals will always tell themselves the republicans are to blame. Whatever. Both parties are to blame and both parties have worked together to sell out this country to the highest bidder/briber.

I really wish we could all stop falling for the devisive left/right propaganda and see the enemy is really using the left/right meme to keep the populace divided and easily controlled while both ends of the spectrum will accept the finger pointing instead of solutions.

Stop hating your brothers and sisters
