So, the Democrats will Lose the Midterms

So much for wishful thinking. My money's on Nate Silver. The Senate goes Republican, but not t a super-majority. And so, Obama becomes a complete lame duck. He still has veto power and people might get sick of gridlock and there might be real change in 2016, like the House going Democrat.
It doesn't really change much.

Lifestyles of the 1%

As a private pilot, I get to see something of the lives of the 1%, since they don't do airlines. I'm renting a hangar for my 4 cylinder, 4-seat, 40 year-old airplane from a private company. The company mainly runs nursing homes and a hospital. The sons inherited it. They keep a jet and a pilot, and jet on the weekends to St. Croix. That's where your health insurance dollars go. And still you find taxes an outrage? The sons have 10x the wage of the President each, and .0000001% of the responsiblity. You're angry at the wrong people. The right people are able to keep private, which keeps you in the dark.
