Why do conservatives expect all necessary government functions/services to breakeven or show a profit.

I'm sure we would define NECESSARY different...


Why do liberals want to spend money without a way to pay for it first ?

Taking more money or benefits away from the middle class would be a disaster for the economy.

I've never understood why the USPS doesn't allow corporate sponsorship of stamps. Heck, with today's technology, why couldn't we put our own faces on stamps? (Well, some of us here i could understand....)

They do not deal with the the same thing!Are you kidding me?
What does UPS charge for a single letter?
You really think they deal with the same amount of mail.

It is so clear to most sane people.

Quote:
It turns out that the gap between the rich and the middle class is larger than it's been in recorded American history. Much of the growth in the gap is due to the recent housing crisis taking place over the past three years.

According to the Economic Policy Institute, the wealthiest 1% had an average net worth that was 225 greater than the average American. That's higher than the previous record, which was 190 times in 2004.

An intriguing aspect of the divide is that it occurred while the wealth of all Americans declined on average. The richest households lost 27% of their wealth between 2007 and 2009, while middle class Americans lost 47% of their wealth during the same time period. So, the growth in the gap was mainly due to the fact that the middle class and poor suffered more during the recent recession than the wealthy.

The decline in wealth was primarily driven by declines in real estate values. Most middle class Americans have the bulk of their wealth tied up in their homes. Wealthy Americans, on the other hand, are likely to have other forms of wealth, including stocks bonds and investment real estate. Additionally, changes in tax laws during the 1980s led to the wealthy paying lower taxes on investment income than they've paid in the past.

You're such a victim.You should be more like Lady Ga Ga and make things happen instead of crying about how bad you have it.
