How We Became the United States of France

This Time.com article How We Became the United States of France by Bill Saporito makes me want to rant a bit...

It certainly does seem like the ultra-rich in this country are doing pretty well while our country is being bankrupt by corruption... and what's the problem with american auto-makers?, they suck... they're crying NOW that they need government investment to make green cars to compete with the japanese? wow, I'm suprised the american auto-makers didn't see that coming earlier... idiots... mccain supporters are crying that obama is for 'redistribution of wealth'... seems to me like there already has been a huge redistribution of wealth in the last seven years... how many middle-class folks do you know who are doing better? go google about how the number of ultra-rich has gone exponential in last seven years... now we can't all blame it on one administration, these trends have been in motion for longer than seven years... I'm just still trying to figure out how a budget surplus turned into the biggest deficiet ever, and why raising taxes to support a 'just war' is a bad idea (instead of putting it on the credit card)...
