    WHAT middle class entitlements? The middle class has always been the ones who make too much to qualify for grants for college and dont receive handouts from welfare. Who rely on a doctor for their prenatal healthcare–NOT the governments planned parenthood. AND its the interest from the loans to the middle class that are keeping the economy going. AND when variable interests rates started souring it was the middleclass that lost their homes. denied by SOCIALIST services for extensions. Dont “F” with the middle class.

    The middle class is becoming “the poor”. People better start making better life decisions. Spend your money carefully, not on stuff you don’t need. Can you really afford to have another child? Do you have the money to raise that child, provide it with a decent quality of life? Nobody else should have to pay to raise your family because you made bad decisions. Sorry, that is the truth.

    Mika just wants the rich to “help”? Doesn’t she at least look at the numbers to see the “rich” are already paying the vast majority of the taxes? What she wants is simply redistribution of wealth like any other good Marxist. Sheese what is going on at MSLSAD? Even Joe has gone soft!

    I know entitlements suck, but having lived in upstate NY and knowing some unfortunates who were on HEAP, the states heating oil program, I think turning off poor folks oil in winter may not get a whole lot of support.

      And what exactly did the poor people in the 1930′s do for heat before heating assistance? Could it be they had a wood furnace and went out throughout the spring, summer, and fall to collect wood for the winter. I say it’s time for people to take responsibility for their own lives and quit waiting for the government to come to the rescue. If there wasn’t a heating assistance program no one would miss it, they would figure it out in hurray.

    Someone better tell these morons that the middle class is the one with whom the Obozo administration is at war. Right now most middle class workers earn about 2/3 of the union thugs and pay a huge share of their associated expenses. they have no pensions and may conrtribute around 20 or more % to their health care, and yet their money goes to support the freeloaders( not the elderly or disabled on ss or medicare) who lay ontheir backs instead of getting jobs because they’ve been indoctrinated with the cradle to grave mantra of the Nanny State and the entitlement culture which goes to provide Demosnots with votes.

      It sounds like a script. Who writes this junk? And who listens to it? Are they kidding? Do they really think they are being relevent? The “rich,” target now exhausted, they have turned their sites on the “uncaring,” middle class? They talk about Social Security, the forced savings plan you pay in from your EARNINGS, it was originally supposed to be, something young tax payers are “greedily hoarding.” Who are these people? Do they have any idea what they are talking about or is it all just more propaganda? More Social Justice…Supposedly softening us up for what sounds more – like Communism.

      I’ve been participating in the class war for quite some time now. In canvassing new customers, I ask them where they work. Since I do not advertise, or have a price list set in stone, I have for several years priced union workers at a higher rate. They can afford it. They don’t need any price breaks. Once, a few years ago, I did some studying on pricing, and complaints about pricing, and the union pukes were the ones complaining the most about high prices. They want the best benefits, the highest wages, and the lowest prices.

      Joe was trying to point out that the current “Baby Boomer” generation is approx. to 3 times larger than the current generation that has to pay into Social Security to pay benefits for the “Boomer” generation. It has been in the news for decades and the Politicians have done nothing to fix it. Progressives have let this problem become a crisis because if it does cause physical warfare or “riots” then the President in power can declare an Emergency that would require the states to mobilize their National Guard to keep order.

      It is why when George Bush Sr. after the “Cold War” was declared over moved a lot of Active Duty military into the Reserves and National Guard and changed the way the Guard is mobilized for use. We now use the Reserve and Guard in ways that they were never originally intended and it is wearing them down. I wonder what “Force” Obama was calling for when he made a call for one to work inside the borders of the United States.

      Government regulations are what is crippling the economy, not the rich people who deserve to keep every penny they earn, like anyone else in America – and even every penty given by other people, who also have the freedom to do what they want with their own money (That was for Congressman Wiener).

The Tea- Baggers are fools and usefull idiots that the GOP uses to protest against their own interests. Der Furher in Wisconsin, Rove, 1/2 Term Palin amd the rest of the GOP have made it their mission to crush the middle class and make them subservent to the Koch brothers.

      The old ‘middle middle’ class is BUDGETING and trying to MAINTAIN WITHIN EFFECTIVE LEVELS,,,,something that the governments, especially at the federal level, SHOUILD be doing. If any blame is to be cast,,,,that’s where it should go.

      Claiming to be wise they have become fools. Number one reason for poverty in the USA is the broken family unit. Study after study has shown that when the father is not present in the home that those families not only make up a large portion of the poor but also the children raised in that setting typically perpetuate the same condition as they get older as well. This is the problem not the selfishness of the middle class or some perceived unfairness. This is also a problem no amount of programs or wealth redistribution can or will fix. Simple as that. How do these self proclaimed intellectuals miss the nose on this countries face time and time again.

      I agree with Joe about the middle class – we all need to help to get ourselves out of this mess. But how did we get into such a mess so quickly – what has been done in the last eight years to get us to this point. We have to be honest and admit that it began with bailing out Wall Street – bailing out Wall Street from some obvious practice that were not exactly honest. So we bailed out Wall Street and they are back to making multi-million dollar bonuses as if nothing happened to them. My question is why are so many of these very people involved with the current administration and why aren’t some of them in jail. My next question is why are we still tied to foreign oil – so when anything happens in the Middle East it effects the price of our oil. We have talked for YEARS about not being dependent on foreign oil and here we are again. It is time that we start looking for oil and other fuel in this country. I am almost ready to become an isolationist. http://wp.me/pYLB7-H6

      @watchtheotherhand
      you are absolutely right about poverty and the break down of the family. I work with the poor, for a Christian organization and want to add that another huge problem (at least in my state) is what is often called the “poor tax”. Most of the poor DO NOT want to be that way, the system makes it very difficult for them to move up most of the time. For instance, is someone requests help for rent, they must first receive an eviction notice, if they request help with heating, they must first have a shut off notice. Obviously that type of behavior makes their credit rating go way down, makes it harder to get other housing and they are charged large deposits any time they need to start a new utilty, phone etc, they can never get a decent deal on insurance. In addition, in Michigan there is something called the “driver responsibility fee” added to most traffic tickets. If they are not able to pay the fee (they are quite high in many case, sometimes more than $1000, or higher). they lose their license, most keep driving because believe it or not, most actually have a job, it just does not pay well…. in no time they get pulled over again, and now they have litterally $1,000′s in fees. The fees may as well be a million because they can’t pay it. I am all for paying for your mistakes, if you get a ticket, you deserve the fine… BUT if you only make minimum wage it becomes almost impossible…. if you have a decent job to begin with, you can pay the fee, you may not like it, but you CAN pay it. I don’t live in a place where public trasportation is available except Monday-friday, 9-5, this does not fit the low income job schedule! Moving to a bigger town is not a relastic option for most either, keep in mind, they will have to pay huge deposits on any new place, new utilities etc.
      Don’t get me wrong, I am not for givng the poor more of other peoples money, not at all! God did NOT tell the government to take care of the poor, He told the church to take care of the poor. That is because we the church (and all Christians and Chrisitan agencies, like my employeer) can help them, not by giving them money, but really HELP them get out of the place they are in. Help them learn new skills, (like how to budget, most have no idea) gain better employment, make lasting changes. The governemnt enslaves them in entitlement, it does not help them in the long run, never has and never will.
