This is not class warfare - although the intended cuts on crucial programs for the majority of Americans could be called just that. This is about reminding the 1% that the rest of us have been important resources for their success. They could not have done it without the rest of us. Through taxes that went into our country's infrastructure and government research and development that helped give the rich the technology and ability to excel in their respective sectors, we deserve to have them share the burden of our country's deficit, especially since so many of them were directly responsible for it.

We have no money to save and we have worked very hard over the years. All prices keep rising and there have been no COLAs for several years. We vote with our dollars often, but the car doesn't go without gas. It's not as simple as one thinks.
