<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>You should take what I am saying with a grain of
salt. I don't give a damn that someone makes a billion dollars a
year. More power to them. I am just saying, why should a guy working
for 8 bucks an hour work for 62,500 years to make the same? I am a tea
party person when it comes to exposing the government largesse. Fanny and
Freddie? It went to the banks. Let the world know.
Why should we, as Jeff suggests, get ready to pay the piper? Why should
the "people" have to prepare for austerity? The federal government
budget is $1.2 trillion. Where does the money go? Where does it
go? My point is that it ain't going to the little guy. It's going to
the corporations and the people who are already wealthy. Why should the
$8.00 per hour guy pay it back? They didn't get to see any of the
action. The "inovative, industrious, and prosperous " did. The guy
who puts the food on your table didn't see any action - to hell with paying it
back. The hedge fund managers, now there is a group of individuals who
really make this country rock and roll. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Watch social security. Instead of paying the
6.2% rate, it is going to be 4.2% for 2011. Try and roll that back.
Underfunded and poorly managed my ass. Both the chickenshit democrats and
the corporate republicans like that. We are entering some interesting
times. You and I are actually on the same side. You just don't know
it. Chuck Kovis</FONT></DIV>

"sacrifice" when 25 <BR>> people make a billion dollars apiece? Why
should people work their tails <BR>> off for $8.00 bucks an hour when
another man/woman makes a billion dollars a <BR>> year? What's the
point? Pull themselves up by the bootstraps? Should we <BR>>
"encourage" those guys/gals to work harder? That they are going to get

schools as part of the <BR>> sacrifice? Should we go back to gravel
freeways? Should the military go <BR>> back to chuckin' spears?
Because, you know, I sure wouldn't want to stop <BR>> those billionaires
from donating at least half of their legally gotten gains <BR>> to
charity. BTW, the owner of Facebook, if he gave away 99% of his wealth,
<BR>> he would still be worth 450 million dollars. Now, that is what
I would call <BR>> a REAL sacrifice. But, can't ask him to sacrifice
that much, now, can we? <BR>> But, it's time to kick the unions in the

and feel some real pain. I can't wait <BR>> til Ron Paul investigates
