re: #452 albusteve

we have an unsustainable situation…too few people supporting the rest of the citizenry…toss in these unreal budget requests and it won’t really matter who’s got what, will it…we need to get people back to work, pare down govt demands, get people educated and useful or we are gonna be fucked…disparity is the least of our problems

I agree with you that there will need to be massive spending cuts, but our government maintains a society (through laws and regulations) that disproportionately benefits a sliver of that society. They have the greatest access to influence government and not surprisingly their needs are met first. Consequently the concentration of wealth at the top continues to accelerate. Is it too much to ask that they pay a little more to maintain a system structured to enrich them?
