That inevitably leads to all the power and riches in the hands of an uncaring minority. It's a sick society that refuses to acknowledge any responsibility for looking after its citizens.Botanisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12098709722475364465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4628081882250550441.post-5405885033633389512011-10-06T12:51:03.280-07:002011-10-06T12:51:03.280-07:00HEAR!

(Thought a little levity was needed here.) <br /><br />Soon we will be RICH and POOR with the poor as the majority. It is US who keep this country running, meanwhile we are being buried alive with taxes, insane gas and food prices, and falling real estate.<br /><br />My business dropped 95 percent in 2008 and it's not much better now. Thankfully I had money squirreled away, but that has dipped to a four digit level and won't last much longer. <br /><br />So I can relate. Family and friends are a great comfort to me at this time. But what about the other's who aren't as lucky. <br /><br />THiNGS need to change. I just hope they will before it's too late.<br /><br />On a lighter note, Danette your autumn pic is stunning.Michael Di Gesuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17047267262428143113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4628081882250550441.post-10951879484663331682011-10-06T10:37:12.841-07:002011-10-06T10:37:12.841-07:00Danette you absolutely have to check out Jon Stewa...Danette you absolutely have to check out Jon Stewart's Daily Show segment on the occupy Wall Street. Mr. Stewart is so well spoken and so poignant on how bad Fox News is treating this. The conservative rich folk that are part of the 1% refuse to give T.E.A. Party-type cred to this revolution and lambast it anytime they get the chance.Michael Offutt, Phantom Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10557969104886174930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4628081882250550441.post-19147344717436565662011-10-06T07:18:07.051-07:002011-10-06T07:18:07.051-07:00We have more in common than I realized.

It's flexible which I need for the kids right now, but I haven't gotten a raise for the past three years and health insurance continues to increase. I'm taking home less now than I did last year and I'm sure that something will eventually have to give. There are only so many things you can cut from your expenses and there seems to always be new things that crop up.Lisa Pottshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11676087488599338569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4628081882250550441.post-6652626738729509232011-10-06T05:48:26.790-07:002011-10-06T05:48:26.790-07:00I am one of the 99% in Canada.

The trouble is that our press (owned by the 1%) in Canada and the States, does not report fairly on what is happening - so I'm happy to see that you are. Thank you for daring to be political in your post - this is a crisis.<br /><a href="http://www.labanan.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Jan Morrison</a>Jan Morrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01771180344305042855noreply@blogger.com
