Its been happening for awhile now. We're at the tip of the iceberg as there are many others like myself that can't buy a job if we even had the money to do it with.
I see another boston tea party happening in the next 10 years as I went to pick up some cigarettes this morning and a additional tax of 1 dollar was added to them this morning.. I don't smoke, but I can see why people would be upset and that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

I commiserated, and we joked about how what they ultimately want is just a CEO to hold press conferences, and a CFO to collect the money. I know this guy isn’t a flaming progressive like me, he’s more an independent, used to like McCain for prez until recently, etc., so I usually tiptoe around any politics. But this day I decided to be brave and said, “I just wonder what’s going to become of the middle- class. I mean, where’s our country heading?” He grunted.
