Well there are always two sides to a fence, and many ways to look at only one side if that is your wish.
The trend for the last 2-3 decades has been that the middle class dwindles as the rich get richer.
Your points are the here and now, but what many believe what Obama is up to is try and reverse the process that got you to the hear and now.
Gama, a very smart man who comments from Europe, submitted an article which shows; that even in this economic mess, CEO's and bosses on wall street are prepared to give themselves$70 billion in bonuses to themselves this year.
Now why would it be wrong of Obama to try and limit this so some of those obvious frauds stop getting richer at tax payers expense.
On the other side, yes there are many who abuse the system and are welfare cases.
Both sides have their crooks, but I would rather pay taxes and help one poor individual than make some millionaire a billionaire.
