While we gripe about welfare mothers and affirmative action. The costliest entitlement programs are above the middle class, not among those who haven't reached it.

Lay it at the feet of Prophet Reagan, who taught us that it would trickle down upon us all. Are you wet yet?

Yes Masbury, we are finally feeling the effects of the trickle down, that is why the rich are putting there money in overseas accounts and not back in the economy, the poor is getting poorer, the middle class cease to exist, and sabres are rattling around the globe, especially where we stick our nose in other peoples business or GW opens his mouth.

The super rich have always tried to blame "welfare mothers" and the like.
The middle classes bought this "blame the victim" philosophy because they aspired to one day move up to the "wealthy" status.
People are no longer buying that line, but are at a loss as how to change things.
