Subject: The most telling thing is the growing divide between the haves and have nots. Those who have jobs and those who don't. Those who have health insurance and those who don't. Those who can retire and those who can't. Those who can afford a place to live and those who are thisclose to homelessness. And on and on.... Yes, we need change. // Shea

Subject: The middle class is slowly falling into the down and out category. What really gets me is that the administration doesn’t even pretend to care about the people who are down and out. They just act like, ‘’well, if you don’t know how to cheat and make millions, or you didn’t inherit a fortune, and if you can’t afford health insurance, that’s your tough luck.’’ My ex sister-in-law’s son committed suicide a couple weeks ago. He was a master plumber in Chicago. Contractors were going bankrupt, owing him hundreds of thousands of dollars, which in turn caused him to go bankrupt. This is happening all over the country and it’s getting worse. / Vivian
