I think the economic mess the Rats have created has made the public aware that the class warfare approach hurts everyone. Unemployment has gone up to 9.8% and most people understand if jobs are going to be created they won't be by guys making less than 250K.
I love telling our janitors "when was the last time you got a job from a poor guy?"
What happens when your employer has to pay more on taxes?
Where does your employer get his salary from?
Is your employer in business to give you a job or to make himself a living?
If your employer’s costs go up, who will he fire first: You or Himself?
