I don't think you'll find too many ppl with half a million dollars punkin you off for a few obama bux.. but I do agree that ppl need to be prepared for the next round of cutbacks, what seems to be secure today could be wiped out & picked clean over night.

An entire tax bracket of ppl has been wiped out & what little they had has been redistributed to upper management.. pension plans, 401's, RSP's, RRSP's any mechanism that was once trumpeted as a middle class safe haven is now gone.

Genocide by pen.. every one needs to gather and hold onto what little they have left. I'm not saying there isn't any one person out there abusing the system. I'm saying every one is out there using what ever loophole they can find to compensate for all that's been redistributed in the last few years.. you can't take 50 trillion dollars out of an economy & expect everything to keep humming along like nothing happened.
