Do you think Bush Admin doesn't care, or does he have more sinister plans?

[Taverner]

The question is does the Bush administration simply not care about the middle and lower classes? Or does he actively seek their destruction?

Keep in mind:

- The middle class votes
- The middle class tends to be more educated, and less compliant
- The middle class pushes wage hikes
- The middle class can hold out for better.

So the question is does Bush simply not care about the middle class, or does he want to wipe it off the face of the earth and return to a haves/have nots scenario (like his admin did in places like Argentina, Chile and countless other countries.)?

1. maybe it is that he doesn't KNOW anyone middle class

he simply cannot relate on any level.

2. he lives in a bubble and is totally clueless.

3. I guess I should be more clear

I refer to the Bush administration, not Bush himself.

6. The philosophy of the GOP is

"I've got mine, screw you." They don't believe in the historic values of the Democratic party: a sense of community, being responsible for each other, helping the have-nots, real compassion (not the phony crap BushCo peddles), and so much more.

The GOP fought social security, medicaid, medicare, the civil rights movement, the voting rights act, etc. They've consistently been on the wrong side of history. And there will never be an end to having to battle them. Unfortunately, it's easier to destroy than to build. Look at the amount of destruction these huns have achieved in just the past 3 1/2 years.

4. Their goal, the neo-Conservatives

is to kill the democratic party all together. To become a one party structure. Eliminate the middle class. Keep the people scared, over worked, under paid and uneducated, all so a few can have power, excess and greed.

5. And that is exactly what I fear is going on....

7. why should he care?

He gets away with everything. If he cannot manage to fix the next election he will simply fade away to 'crawford a rich man, and will have the troops tell historians and thereby school children that he was like a Churchill or a Roosevelt

Really, why should he care? He has not a thing to lose, no matter which way it goes.

He has everything made whether or not he is elected. No one will accuse him of impropriety at all. He has money and he has a name. Therefore he is above the law.

8. I heard a statistic on the radio yesterday

The disparity between rich and poor is the greatest it has been in a century. Read that and then you decide what the agenda for the middle class is.

9. When they watch "A Christmas Carol"

they cheer for Scrooge at the beginning and boo him at the end.
