It's like pointing to nations like Saudi Arabia or Iran and saying "Religion doesn't really have influence over our government! Look at them!" Why don't we shoot for something better than 'bottom of the barrel.'
You know the difference? The middle class here can afford to have less money. People who don't think so are just used to their comfortable lives. Well we are wracking up debt that is going to ruin the whole country. Who honestly thinks this debt is sustainable? This fiscal cliff is just a propaganda term used to force an agenda. Hey, I'm all for taxing the rich more, and that's exactly what's going to happen with the 'fiscal cliff'. Also there is a lot in the world inbetween Somalia and the US.
