The original poster continues to make that same tired and counter productive philosophy that got these Occupy Wall Street kids into the mess there in now. Andy Kessler, author refers to them as the Trophy Generation. Because win or lose everyone gets a trophy. It created mediocrity in education wherein kids spent more time learning how to develop an environmental friendly waste plant, or the need for cultural and sexual diversity rather than math and science. Instead these folks earned degrees in arts humanities or gender studies. Because our public schools failed to produce students with advanced degrees in sciene, math engineering, etc Obama is now fast tracking green visa's for immgrantsfor hundresd of jobs that go unfilled.

subsequently this Trophy Generation that learned win or lose I get rewarded now occupies Wall Street with signs which read "delete the elite" "the 99% vis a vis the 1%. In otherwords wealth redistribution is an extension of the trophy philosophy which was learned in the third grade and not adhering to this redistribution model is foreign or beter yet alien to the trophy generation. The housing market is a direct consequence of this Trophy mentaility....By the way I had always disagreed with the government bailouts that came from both the Bush and Obama's Administration

So if there are any posters here whom agree with Obama and his Dems concerning tax increases...be my guest volunteer your income.

For me billionaire, or not I am sick and tired of these idiots picking my pockets for projects that go nowhere and only serve to get them re-elected.

The best way out of this mess is to cut cut cut spending and I am not buying anymore of this we need a tax increase from any pol We can reduce the government by a third maintain a viable and productive governement and save taxpayers billions and billions of tax dollars
