One of the great misconceptions of America is the belief that the gap between the rich and poor is getting smaller. In fact, the opposite is true, as the middle class of America is disappearing all together and the gap is widening. Giving tax breaks to the richest 5% of the country widens the gap because it allows for them to have added incentives not to pump their money back into the system, which is how the poor can prosper, because the more money they keep or withhold, the larger the tax break they can get under the current systems being put into place.

It's a lose- lose situation for the poor and a win-win for the rich, and since almost all the policies are created or influenced by the rich, it is a policy that is likely to remain for some time.


A big problem, The Redneck, with regard to the Confederate Flag, is that it has been used so many times with regards to the KKK and more than anything else, the fact that they use it as a symbol of their organization, because it represents breaking away from the country, which many KKK believe in, the image of the flag is more or less tarnished, even if that's not what it stands for. A flag is just a symbol, but the images, messages and people who have waved it carry a lot of weight as to how it is viewed or understood, even if these views aren't true.

Take care all.
