Screwing the middle class got us into this mess ... It won't get us out of it.

Our current financial crisis was caused by (1) greedy, unregulated, banks manipulating the financial system at the expense of MIDDLE CLASS homeowners, (2) a massive financial bailout for these same bank funded by MIDDLE CLASS taxpayers, and (3) a decade-long, needless, and costly war in Iraq paid with the blood and treasure from MIDDLE CLASS families.

The people, the party, and the principles which got us into this mess should have absolutely no say in how to get us out of it.
