On a daily basis I go into the worst neighbourhoods in my city and offer educational hope and social justive and there is a thriving culture of opportunity and ownership in our midst, but its not in the demos interest to promote it lest voters stray from the plantation. It is nice to see you perpetuating the lies of the Sharpton/Jackson/Pelosi wing of the looney left though.

I live in a "middle class" community. My neighbor one side is a contractor and my neighbor on the other side is a car salesman. The guy a couple doors down works for an amousement company and sets up, services those blow up moonwalk things for kids' birthday parties.
These people have houses that are half-empty because they can't afford to furnish them fully. They shop at places like Wal-Mart and Target because they can't afford to go anywhere else. They take vacations every two or three years at most.
Why? because the only way they have of accumulating or building wealth is their home. They find themselves continually squeezed. I also see how quickly houses turn over, because all it takes is one little slip, like an unexpected medical emergency or a family member losing a job for their whole dream to come crashing down around them.
Refresh my recollection, please. Tell me again how I can just explain to them that if you don't have to pay taxes on dividends and the estate tax is eliminated, their lives will improve, even though they are about to lose the houses they can barely afford now because they won't be able to cut the nut without the mortgage interest deduction.
