Why do the wealthy among us insist on raising the taxes and putting forth legislation that will increase the cost of living of everyone else? Why do those same elite politicians bad mouth the rich, when they semlves are, in most cases, rich? Is it because they already "have theirs" and are now living at the top of Maslow's pyramid, so now they are enlightened and we, the dirty, uneducated, ignorant masses need theem to be our nanny?

This is supposed to be a repuglic, with a representative government. Demand that your representative "represent" YOU!
