OK...let me try:
"we want to have government more involved in your decision making as we do not see you as capable of making the right decisions. WHO says this? And when? And concerning what?
People did not read contracts for credit cards and they got hurt by their irresponsibility, so government mandated the card companies to change contracts and policies.
And we would like those that DO know how to make smart decisions to bear the financial burden of government making those decisions for you; I disagree. What specifically, are you referring to here?
Those that paid their credit cards, were hit with rate increases to make up for the losses card companies were forced to take.
and we do not want you to thank them. We want you to credit us as we are your saviors I cannot see through the thick sarcasm on this one to even attempt to know what you might be referring to here?
I have yet to hear the administration say to he American people that we should be thankful to that 5% that is bearing the increases. They have been labelled as the "wealthiest" and "unpatriotic" if they are against tax increases. And guess what. Many of us are NOT against the tax increase to help others out. The word greedy has been applied to them more often than I can count. However, I have heard mny on the hill talk about how hard they are workingt to give the people a better quality of life. They have praised each other; they have praised thei hard work; they have taken the credit.
You need to see it from the other side.
And yes, I can state fact to refute all I say as well. But not everyone has an open mind. Most dont. Our politicans should know this.
I will wholeheatedly agree with you that not enough (if any) credit has been given to the wealthier Americans who end up paying the most in taxes to support the programs that the less fortunate benefit from. HOWEVER, I do not recall Bush or anyone from the GOP praising those same wealthy Americans for financially supporting our invasion of Iraq. DO you hold them accountable as well?
