I just want my fair share for working hard for 40+ years.

So after the 40 years I've worked so far, why do the rich want to take my modest earnings away from me?

I don't want a pony or a Maybach 57.

I just want Ms. D and I to keep our home and leave it to our kids and to have enough money to eat and stay warm in winter and maintain and give back after we retire by volunteering. You know, give back some of what we earned to the community that made it possible.

I don't want the kids to have to have shitty jobs and work for half what they are worth. They are college-educated. We paid for that, not Wall Street.

The Greedy Old Pig Party wants to take away the American Dream from our kids and grandkids to further enrich themselves.

Is that too simple an explanation?

Nope.
