I think it is safe to say that we all really want the same thing. Clinton and Obama are both right on in what they are saying, and that is what is making this Democratic Primary so difficult.
Although, I heard an ad on KYW from the Clinton camp that really hit home. She is heard saying that all of America should have the opportunity to get the same health care coverage that is offered to the politicians in Washington. Good stuff.
On that note, isn't the average salary in America like 40K per year? So then why have we elevated our "ruling class" so highly, paying them six-figure salaries, benefits, and all they can steal? This needs to stop.
And on that subject, why all the hoopala every time someone wants to raise the minimum wage? Is it that terrible to offer a living wage to the lower rung of the socioeconomic ladder? I mean, how much sacrifice must these innocent folks provide so that some rich corporate scumbag can have his million plus bonus?
Unfortunately, Wayne is correct about the dumb folks voting. Because of the apathy shown by the "masses of asses" we now have folks that have all but spent their lives getting paid by our tax dollars. And then we are expected to get all misty-eyed thanking them for the great sacrifices they have made. Spare me!
