You could be right. OWS is a distraction — it also seems designed to deflect blame from Obama, to bankers and the “rich”.

Hi USFV,

I agree. Right now the real burden of the middle class is those who are NOT paying tax. With the upper class paying about 70% of the tax bill, then the problem is the millions upon millions who are paying ZERO and sucking up money big time in the form of entitlements.

It’s time for a renewal of the call for stopping welfare cheats and anyone who games the system.

EVERYONE should pay something toward the cost of government, and social security tax doesn’t do that since it’s returned at a far greater rate than it’s taken....unsustainable.

Actually I’m thinking more of a dress rehearsal. They aren’t going to be able to keep it up all winter let alone for a whole year.
