In essence 2/3s of the citizenry just ain't happy and want a change.
Could it be that 95.4 % of these unhappy folks have a job?
They didn't have to go.
So why then the flat out discontentment in the minds of 69% of Americans?
Adjusted for inflation, I'm earning a little over 35% of what I earned in 1984. I've been laid-off as my jobs went over seas and south.
America no longer produces; we consume and serve. Great economy; welcome to Walmart.
Yes. Our troops volunteered to go to Iraq because they were lied to.

Keep wagging the dog. I want a big change.

If you are poor it is because of the choices you have made in your life. Your life is your responsibility. Don't complain if you are poor because you failed to pay attention and learn in school. Don't complain you are poor if you failed to develope job skills to better yourself.
I did very well in school, have an IQ in the top 1% of our nation, and have still managed to get laid-off when companies outsourced to India & China.
Then I joined the unemployed masses and was called "over qualified".
Now I'm cheerfully under-employed and managed by under-qualified & over-paid...
I'm not poor but I'm pissed.
