Candidly, I do not see the necessity at this time for "Shared Sacrifice"

[Samantha]

42. No, I don't advocate for any laws that confiscates wealth

I advocate for passive resistance by all those who have done more than their fair share of sacrificing as a result of the Republicans ill-conceived handling of the reigns of power. Specifically, I am talking about Bush tanking this economy and his cohorts enabling him to do so. Yet they have prospered during all this and still look at the middle class and the indigent to pick up the pieces.

What kind of fools do they think we are? We won this election, and we voted on the issues. Yet here they are continuing the same battle cries of that election they lost. They just have different actors on the stage now, giving voice to those positions. Outrageously, some of those voices were the big donors to the Republican party during the electoral process. Yet here they are on the airways telling US what WE must do. Who do think they are? Who elected them to anything? Are they just going to take over?

We need to put pressure on our legislators to abandon this approach and seek a fairer manner in which to offset the debt. Each one of us needs to think about how we do this but in any event, we cannot be silent and let the chips fall.

Thank you for posting your thoughts on this thread.
