Now there's a novel idea I suppose is anti-democratic and middle class. LOL

Yea, well, how about you giving something on the other end of the spectrum? You, of course, didn't tell us what the wealthy are gunna give up to solve this deficit problem. You just want middle class people to give up stuff. You say they're overpaid? Listen, I had a dog that wouldn't eat, or drink. He was getting dehydrated. I knew he had to have an I.V., or he might not make it through the night. So, I took him in. They said leave him etc., and like 8 hours later, they wanted $1100-1200 or so bucks. So, please don't give me this crap about bloated. There is so much more "bloated" going on amongst parasites (like these people.) You're very selective about what's bloated. If it's the middle class that's slightly bloated, then, you're concerned. Otherwise, you aren't bothered by it at all. Before Federal Workers get pay cuts etc., I am 100% sure that I'd rather have that Vet pay more money in taxes. I know who's more bloated. Now, if you really want to cut the deficit, then, why don't you (at least) suggest that both sides give up something. BTW, that event I mentioned (dog) is not the free market in action. There are other people that would be very willing to give that dog an i.v., and anti- nausea meds. In a free market, it would be legal for them to do so. When the wealthy do stuff to inhibit a free market, they get a free pass.
