Sorry, JB, it's not just liberals who care about Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and social programs in general. It's the people (including conservatives) who care about their fellow man. Join us, won't you?

For you to insinuate that I dont contribute enough shows your ignorance.In New York, we do pay up to 80% above the national average in taxes, and everyone has to comply through force and intimidation, thats a fact, for the most part we always do that, its got nothing to do with "caring", its about finally saying, holey shit, wait just a second, weve been giving you all this money for very little results.Check the graduation rates in the cities and compare that to payrolls and retirement plans and im not saying their payed too much, but just try and ask them to hold the line abit and everyone FREAKS OUT..comapssion would be giving more for alittle less like most these days, sell it to someone else.Its got nothing to do with being compassionate, thats just the excuse, sell it to someone else that isnt already participating in your pipe dreams and experiencing the results first hand.I pretty much have always lived week to week, hand to mouth, so this obama crap is not going to be any surprise to me, I feel others really really really need to feel it.......REALLY!!!!out the other end of that disaster could create some real opportunity.The whole shit really has to break down, I say, burn it all down, and wallow in it for awhile.Stop the drips and drabs .Our new mayor didnt cut ANY services, maybe might have to lay off some(welcome to the real world) is going to give 3% raises to city employees and has raised all city property taxes accross the board by 3%, soo yah, OK...everyone has skin in the game, but sure not enough, its never enough.
