Well, I been saying this for the last couple years here in Mudville... The US is getting more and more like Haiti with 1% holding all the wealth and the rest of the population in the crapper...

Retirement has become a dram for even most baby boomers... Their kids??? Only a samll percentage will ever be able to retire...

This has been the "perfect storm" for the dieing anti-New Dealists and the drweam has been passed down to their kids and grandkids... These are now the upper 1% who aren't smart enough to realize that history repeats itself...

This isn't as much about the US economy as the financial decisions that the upper 1% has made which have effected the US economy... Yeah, those decisions might have been good for them but have, upon closer examination, been very bad for the country...

This is one reason that I stringly oppose the Bush tax cuts that have gone to the capitalists who have, in turn, rolled the rest of the country under the bus...
