I fear for this kind of thing in this country......
When you hear the constant rattle of class warfare by the administration..they dont mention fixing the tax code for the most part, they talk about RICH versus POOR.
Then, when you analyze the last election results along with a comment I just heard this morning by analysts on MSNBC saying, as they were going through the states one of one, that the Obama team likes states and will spend money in states, that are poor and non white.
This kind of open talk has got to stop...they say it publicly and openly.
How long can this country allow that kind of pressure cooker to just boil ?
To those who are offended by this..I am sorry, but its time we talk about ALL americans and not separate them by money or color. It does NOT solve problems, it simply keeps them rolling around and makes them worse.

I'm not offended, Bucco. But I am disturbed by the direction our governments have been taking the country for some time. I've mentioned before that there's a "barbell effect" going on in our society--both the very wealthy and the very poor segments of our society are growing, leaving a smaller and smaller middle class.
It was the middle class that caused our economy to grow after WWII, to thrive and prosper. It was the middle class that taught their kids--our generation--to strive to seek a better education and standard of living than our folks did. The question now seems to be: is the declining middle class teaching their kids the same values? Can they be enthusiastic about the direction our country is headed?
Joe Scarborough, co-host of MSNBC's
Morning Joe wrote an article very much worth reading on the subject entitled
"The American Dream Hangs In The Balance". You can read it at the following link. I recommend it...
