10. Of course not. Insecure job market makes for lower wages - which
helps fight inflation (an anti-dote to rising gas prices). So the stock markets roar & the rich do not suffer inflation (or a contraction in the market as is the antidote to inflation in the past when all people shared in the job of keeping the market healthy). The rich don't pay taxes, they don't pay for the war (also keeping the market roaring). They don't send their kids to war.

They do dick all.

Only a preteen would find the idea of getting something for nothing - especially at a time of war - rewarding. Any adults would understand that this is an unhealthy existence. But under W's leadership - adolescence is fine.
