Easy...the Republicans have allegiance with the 1%...they've written off
the rest of America.

I think this 1% thing is far oversold. I think the number of people
who think they are actually doing OK is closer to 50-55% (the silent
majority?)

I see a few people here talking about how badly other people are doing
but I don't hear anyone saying they are poor themselves. In fact we
seem to have a bit of a contest going about how well only writer is
doing (yourself included) yet I doubt anyone here is in the top 1%

My point is that the GOP'ers in Congress and the nominee wannabes are
not targeting or proposing anything that will help the middle income
folks. Drill baby drill, castrating environmental laws, lowering taxes
on the rich...that isn't going to lower unemployment.

I am sure the people in North Dakota would disagree. They are having a
jobs boom up there.

Ahh, North Dakota...the oil shale model for the nation, with a total
statewide population of what, 700,000? In a relatively huge area?
