The depressing part for me is I think the majority of people believe him. I listen to the local talk radio in Pittsburgh and the majority of callers think the rich have taken too much and that Obama by taxing only the rich is now providing them with all the freebies they are entitled to to live a middle class lifestyle. They have taken to heart the mantra that incomes have stagnated. The best line was “Why should the rich have all the money”. It is like there is a big pile somewhere and some people got there first. We are in for a rough period and it is anyone’s guess how long it will last. Envy is hard to stuff back in a bottle.
