>>>>The pro-extending comments come from those who have the most to gain. The fact remains that there has been a historically unprecedented transfer of wealth to the rich. The upper 1% have gained enormously and all the rest of us have lost ground. That's fact.

>>You are not dealing with facts and I am out of this conversation. You are spouting blind ideology. I had more respect for you than this. The redistribution has not been from all of us working people to welfare recipients. It has been to the top 1% from all the rest of us. That's the exact opposite of what you are stubbornly asserting.

Tracy, you can URL me all you like but I am not agreeing to change the subject. We have had a seismic redistribution of wealth to the richest Americans. That was my point and remains so. We have a bigger gap between rich and poor now than the so-called banana republics. 50K per year is not the point.
