You're such an apologist for the big business private sector, Wayne. And
what has that sector done for us the last 25 years or so? It's helped
destroy the middle class and make the wealthy class wealthier.
That's more liberal/socialist hog wash. It is true that I support the
free enterprise system. It has served the country well since its
inception and has served most of us well. Free enterprise is still
arguably better than any of the alternatives.
And who says the middle class has been destroyed? That's more hog
wash. I'm middle class as are most of my friends and neighbors. The
value of our homes has gone down but everyone except the highly
leveraged are doing just fine. In my opinion most of the highly
leveraged got greedy and ignored the facts.
The social contract that emerged out of the Great Depression and built
the middle class is pretty much dead, and your party wants to bury it in
its casket. The modern conservative interpretation of the free
enterprise system no longer serves the middle class or those trying to
get into the middle class.
I do love your claim about being "middle class," though. It's quite a
chuckle.
