By society's collective stupidity.

Sounds more and more like the Obama administration and Democrats will cave in and support extending tax cuts to the richest Americans. The top 2 percent. Apparently that's the mood. Now that the Republicans have taken over Congress. Of course, that means adding to the nation's already horrendous debt. Unless other budget cuts can be found. Such as in social security and Medicare. And maybe even in defense. In reality, the middle class will be asked to pay the tab. Yes, make a gift, of sorts, to millionaires and billionaires. So they can pad their pockets and feel more secure. Maybe some day the middle class will wake up. And start voting in their best interest. Which is to take from the rich and give to the poor. That would be the decent thing to do. The right thing to do. The intelligent thing to do. Meanwhile, I never cease to be amazed. By society's collective stupidity. --Jim Broede
