to make things equal, some want to tear the top down. that would be infinitely easier than finding ways to bring the bottom up. don't encourage achievement, penalize it. hard work, ingenuity...discourage it. yeah, that's the way to fix everything.

LOL..Who said anything about equal? We are struggling to keep 3 classes..Keep voting for Conservatives, and you (and 99% of Arkansas) will be in the lesser of 2 classes. If hard work was always rewarded in this society, there'd be more of it going on. When people work hard, and aren't rewarded? That's when the problems come. Matter of fact, the best way to turn this economy around would be if hard work was always rewarded. That's not going to happen. Rich people's real wages keep going up, and everyone else's real wages are stagnant, or going down. That is a recipe for a 2 class system.

Reward those hard working CEO's for shipping jobs to China and India. And then stand around with our thumbs up our ass wondering why there is no recovery, why are cars,houses,etc not selling. Keep listening to the economists using thier 19th century text books to analyze a 21 st century paradigm. What is Germany doing right?
