One thing I did not see mentioned is the fact that those champions of the poor, the oppressed, the minorities and the ever shrinking middle class, (AKA Liberal Democratic lawmakers), are without exception members of the top 7 percent. Our fearless "leaders," (or should I say "clueless"), have had their multi-million dollar fortunes remain remarkably intact and unplundered by the vicissitudes of the economy. This is the "golden rule of Liberalism." If you have the gold, you make the rules. "Redistribution of wealth" is nothing more than Liberalspeak for "someone else's money." If these wonderful and caring people who serve us so selflessly, and who sacrifice so much to come to Washington to get paid nearly $200,000/year for what amounts to 4 or 5 months work, (let us not forget full pension after 4 years, sweetheart medical insurance, no Obamacare for these pillars of society, immunity and exemptions for things that would land their constituents in prison,) are so interested redistribution of wealth, let them take a voluntary paycut. Not a token, one that actually would affect the lifestyle they have grown accustomed to.
