Our government generously sustained tax cuts to the top 2% of the nations wealthiest which I am sure they believe is their entitlement.
As Paul Krugman points out, Welcome to the Banana Republic!
The New York Times has a lengthy article describing the rising and ongoing resentment of the general public for unionized workers.
Basically the public is angry at unionized workers for not feeling the pain. Take away retirements. Get rid of "bad teachers". Cut off the cost of living increases.
Why should those who support the infrastructure of the Unites States (in so many ways) not suffer? Make them bleed!
Obama's "throw the bone" gesture of freezing government wage earners salaries is a pittance to the droves who believe government and union workers need to bleed. Cut them. Harm them. Obliterate them and kill the unions.
Why should anyone in this country be comfortable after corporations have outsourced the work, trailing minimum wage part time jobs, no pensions, expensive health care and non existent family coverage?
The rich, the corporations and the politicians shake their heads -how can one nation of people be so stupid as to eat their own?
Give them the cutlery and the cheap dishes made in China, they gleefully, scornfully proclaim behind closed doors.
Let's help them to a five course meal.
