Death of the Middle Class was in 1981 Says Michael Moore
In 30 Years Ago Today: The Day the Middle Class Died ...a letter from Michael Moore, he states that the beginning of our current economic collapse was when then President Ronald Reagan on August 6, 1981, fired every member of the air traffic controllers union (PATCO) who'd defied his order to return to work and declared their union illegal. They had been on strike for just two days.

Preserving Tax Cuts for the Wealthy is Unconscionable: A Secretary Should Not Pay More Than the Boss in Taxes ...
In response to the Budget Control Act of 2011, I sent the following letter to my Republican Congressional representative:

I want to express my strong opinion that repealing tax cuts for wealthy Americans needs to be a part of what's on the table for healing our economy. It's becoming embarrassingly omitted -- it's the elephant in the room -- and the majority of the people in the country believe that now is not the time to preserve / extend these tax cuts. ALL Americans must help share responsibility. To so assiduously avoid even asking them for more is tantamount to replacing our democracy with a feudal system -- something we fought a revolutionary war to get away from. Hello! It's RIDICULOUS that participation from the income of wealthier Americans is not a part of our debt crisis solution. Why don't we actually poll the wealthier Americans?
What self-respecting, individual American would actually agree that a secretary should pay more than her boss in taxes? Anybody? Well, this is the kind of disparity we are looking at.
The tenacious, ill-spirited stonewalling on this subject by Congressional Republicans is embarrassing, un-American, not team-oriented and has racist overtones.
Politics has gotten blown all out of proportion. Now Republicans seem to think that we are paying them to be staunchly partisan -- to defeat Obama at every turn, at all costs -- rather than to provide good governance for this country.
Someone in the Republican leadership needs to step forward and be a grownup. It could do wonders to restore the respect of the people.
