To Democrats, low wages are the problem.

To Republicans, low wages are the answer.

50% of us make less than $26,364 per year.  Kind of makes ya wonder how come the richest just don't get it?  I guess since they already got it, it don't matter...

What don't "the richest" get? That working hard, sacrificing, and being innovative is a bad thing? That their wealth should be seized by government and given to whiny college kids who majored in areas that interested them but are not in demand by employers?

While I have few illusions about any of this, Paris and Nicole thank you.

Two trust fund babies justifies an attack on all the "rich"? If that's the best you got, wealth envy, to support heiron's "the richest" don't get it, then it's time to move to another issue. Like, guns, knives, and racism in Portland:

PORTLAND — A man who displayed a handgun at Occupy Portland’s downtown encampment after a dispute with protesters has been arrested, police said in a statement Thursday.

The argument took place Wednesday afternoon when 32-year-old Jason C. Parker was challenged verbally by protesters after filming tents, police said. One of the protesters used a racial epithet against Parker, who is black, police said.

A witness said Parker was filming inside tents without permission and displayed the gun more than once after protesters at the camp displayed knives.

“He pulled his shirt halfway up and showed me he had a piece,” said Jason Kersten, who works in the camp’s security group. “This is a peaceful protest. You don’t bring a gun.”

Kersten acknowledged that someone used a racial epithet.

“The N-word was used by some people in the camp,” he said.

Defending those two makes as much sense as your defending every wealthy being on the planet.  

Not sure of the best route to tax but I'm sure they're capable of defending themselves.

Relax.  I'm sure they all appreciate your help.

Bringing a gun to a knife fight is probably smarter than bringing a knife to a gun fight.

You must not be as rich as you try to let on.  You get it.

I don't think I am rich at all. I just consider myself successful. Oh, I'm sorry, lucky.

We need to run those crazy bald heads in congress out of office a year from now. This thing is bigger than you'll ever realize.

It's true.  The tea baggers have served their intended purpose by electing a Republican majority at the mid term.  Now, the traditional Republican elite is trying to leash them for the presidential election next year, knowing that the tea baggers are far too extreme to be allowed anywhere near the presidency or any serious policy making.  The problem is this dog bites indiscriminately, drawing blood from both Democrats and those Republicans who do not exhibit ideological purity along tea bagger lines.

What is the obsession with income disparity? Seriously. I don't think about the millions of people that earn more than me, much less what people earn making less than me. And how does increasing taxes on the 1%ers going to translate into jobs that will increase the low median income. All that will happen is an increase in government revenue, which will be spent how? Paying down the debt most likely. If the revenue were to be used to create more "shovel ready" jobs, then I would simply ask you to look at the wildly successful stimulus plan.
