Wealthy Families Do Not Like The Middle Class or the Poor


Republican leaders are out in front on the war against the poor and the lower middle class.  Why do the Republicans think that minimum wage earners make too much money?  Rick Perry has created more minimum wage jobs than any other Governor, but Eric Cantor and Michelle Bachmann think those people are being over paid.  Governor Walker thinks that teachers, policeman, fireman, and state workers also need a pay cut.  Has anyone heard a Republican speak out against the compensation of CEO's or Hedge Fund managers on Wall Street?  No, they harp on the over paid workers who a struggling to get by.  It sounds like Republicans want our poor and lower middle class to be living like 3rd world workers.  They won't rest until workers put in 10 hours a day, 7 days a week just to feed their families. They seem to want to turn back the clock on 80 years of gains by American workers.  The government is not the enemy; it's just being used by the rich to keep the rest of us from moving up.  It's time to take back our government and use it to level the playing field to give all Americans a change at the American dream.  The Republicans have given the rich all the power and created this American nightmare, let's restore this country to the middle class and the poor to develop the American dream.

I think the divide between the wealthy and the middle and lower class goes much deeper than we think.  I believe the wealthy think they are better and more entitled to a better life than the middle class. Just from personal experience, from the small town I live in, the wealthy stay hidden. They have their own club and play eat and generally keep away from the rest of us. There are only 12,000 people in my town and I never see the families of the wealthy using the same facilities my family uses. They will accept my business but not associate with me. I think they resent the fact that middle class and even poor families can find a way to send their children to college, I believe, in my heart, that they resent the fact that we take vacations where they do or that we can afford a new car. They seem to be upset that our children can rise above their station and become lawyers, Doctors, engineers, and even President.  I feel they look down on the rest of us and would like to keep us in our place.  Getting rid of unions and decent paying jobs accomplishes part of their goal. The attack on public schools is an attempt to deprive a good education to you and your children For God’s sake don’t they care about the future of their children and grandchildren?

Many of you will think I am nuts. I have had this feeling about the wealthy for years and feel their dislike he rewards is theirs.

Climate change will not affect them. They will have the money to move, buy food, and continue their lifestyle. You won’t. You must use your vote to stop this disturbing trend.  We must all fight for a continuation of the struggle for health care and better pay and working conditions. They won’t just give it to you. Look at history; do not let it happen again. This time it may take a lot longer than 80 years to gain some respect and a decent life.
Someday you will look back and say that crackpot was right. Remember they are already sending your sons to wars for oil and pipe lines .They do not sent theirs. How many of Mitt Romney’s five sons have served? Answer NONE
