Its EASY to say, as a Senator or President or other high ranking GOVERNMENT official, that the "recession is over" and that things are "turning around", when your state-of-the-art health care (for you and your family - for LIFE) is totally free, you have private armies and security staff to make sure everything is peachy (who needs guns, you peasant rabblerousers?), your wives and family can vacation in France (at taxpayers expense) and your gated and guarded community is looking really nice, you have dozens of people on your staff to assure you want for nothing, and there's NEVER any heavy lifting (literally and figuratively). HOWEVER, back here in the world of the lowly peasantry, people are STILL being laid off, hours are being cut, businesses are closing, benefits are being reduced/eliminated, houses are being foreclosed upon at the rate of 100,000 PER MONTH (!!) and there is no end to it in sight. It's certainly good to be the king, but serfdom is not half as good as it once was.... and the worst thing?? They don't know it, see it, or care in the least about it....

One doesn't have anything to do with the other.
More millionaires because people who got laid off simply improved the businesses bottom lines and they became wealther.
Still all for tax breaks for the wealthy instead of the declining middle class?

I'm all for NO TAXATION on our labor. No matter who you are.

This government must be stopped from destroying our lives and economy.
