1. A "friend" was questioning me the other day ...

Said friend lives in a $1 million home in the Bay Area. Me = no such luck not that I'd really want it.

What comes with this mindset is a sickness and a hatred.

The hatred is one of the poor and the working class and the biggest fear of all is the Unions.

What they have is already more than enough and they shall never have enough and it seems many sit around criticizing persons such as myself that lives on a poverty level income through no fault of my own.

And yet I get a call asking me "Do you pay taxes?". Answer = I'd love to pay taxes for that would mean I have some sort of an steady and reliable income that is no longer there for me.

Taxes they say? I don't get it really as I was "reminded" of the "fact" that Pres. Obama "stole" $5 billion from Medicare.

Why would anyone care to live somewhere that taxes are not paid and the place they live in becomes a ruin of no value nor use and fabricate the validity of a lie such as the example given above as some sort of disjointed truth. Thank you Ms. Bachmann but no, I do not believe your carved in soapstone 1% lies.

Join a Union and fight the good fight *again* is my only advice for the worker today.

That is about all "we" meaning the lower/middle class have left by a shoe string it is beginning to look like at times sadly as folks just don't "get" it when it comes to the empowered worker that has found a voice and a vehicle for change called a "Union".
