Thank you, tw, for not being one of the people to just read the first sentence and get all huffy.

And thank you to everyone else for your comments (especially the nice ones - I like nice comments ).

Only someone who never read the paper or watched the news could not be aware of the very strong class element in the current US political scene. I mean come on, no new (old) taxes for the wealthy and the big corporations? Yet on the other hand, people living at 125% below the poverty level should sacrifice for "their country"?

Our most vulnerable citizens should sacrifice their housing, their food, and their medical care, so that the billionaires can continue to squirrell their money into off-shore accounts and create new jobs for the people - the people in Rwanda?

This entire mess is about idealogy - bottom line.
