The Social Poets: Where Is The Middle Class in America? Half Living Low Income Or Poor
The Social Poets: Where Is The Middle Class in America? Half Living Low Income Or Poor: From Denny: Where is the middle class in America? Half of Americans are now scraping by on low income or downright poverty, according to the latest census data. That's 146 million doing without because of high unemployment, costs that have risen fast, stayed high and suppressed wages.
Mayors of 29 cities say they cannot meet the needs for emergency food assistance, food stamps, and are turning away 25 percent of applicants. There are already 46 million people on food stamps, a former middle class that never asked for any help until now. Federal and states' programs are frayed at the edges.
And the Republicans claim the Democrats are screaming "class warfare"? These figures don't lie. Just where did the GOP expect the unemployed to go? How do they expect people to eat?

The Social Poets: Funny Jon Stewart Mocks Perry Romney 10K Bet
Jon Stewart (Image via RottenTomatoes.com) |
After all, the average person in Iowa makes a $10 bet not a $10, 000 one. Only rich guys throw money around like that demonstration.
How dumb can you get? In the worst economic depression in 70 years you have a millionaire making expensive bets in front of an audience trying to figure out how to keep their kids in college and pay their mortgage.

The second video is her first audition on America's Got Talent where she swept away the judges. Jackie began singing at age eight when her parents took her to see the Phantom of The Opera. It inspired her so much she began singing around the house. At age ten she auditioned on America's Got Talent - and the rest is history.

The Social Poets: Polls: Voters Yell: Throw Them ALL Out!
Image via Wikipedia |
How many members of Congress deserve to lose their jobs? More than 75 percent of the registered voters said, "Yes, throw the bums out!" By that large margin voters said Congress deserves to be kicked down the road.
What about the all-important Independent voting bloc? They don't think Congress deserves to keep their jobs either, saying so by 80 percent. Republicans weigh in at 75 percent and Democrats at 68 percent.
