It's criminal that the politicians want to cut education and the safety net, but can't wait to give tax cuts to the 1% who clearly don't need it.Tina Donahuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07160021732404091277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-22870712851725394582014-06-06T22:46:34.742-04:002014-06-06T22:46:34.742-04:00It has been getting more and more uneven.

I have an "at will" employment as a teacher and feel scared each day that I might lose the job and insurance benefits. Those benefits are the only reason I'm working. The cost is incredibly high for my husband and I. <br /><br />I don't know how people will be able to survive if this goes on.

I agree.<br /><br />Just read an article about WalMart and how they're costing the rest of us billions in revenue because their workers are on food stamps and because WalMart is allowed to deduct from its profits executive bonuses.

This country ran very well with a strong middle class because we could afford what we produced. <br /><br />Unfortunately, there aren't too many politicians in either party who believe in this model anymore.

People aren't going to take it when they can't feed their kids any longer. <br /><br />What really bugs me is that those in power aren't even trying to hide their contempt for the 99%. They're so clueless, it's breathtaking.Tina Donahuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07160021732404091277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-59581843319727589312014-06-06T08:12:19.388-04:002014-06-06T08:12:19.388-04:00I've always said our country is backwards.

People on welfare would be willing to work if they could live on what they make. <br /><br />The welfare can be cut back the amount the person makes at their job, but keep giving them welfare until they're making what they make on welfare on their job. Money would still be saved. <br /><br />So sorry about your friend, Tina.

Organized crime and Nazis coming to power in the 1930's are two I can think of. Screwed up priorities is right.
