However, these Americans don't realize their income is soaring because the "liberal media" is telling them that they're worse off. The unspoken assumption is that these poor people are too stupid to realize how well they're doing. <BR/> Of course, no candidate would ever say this in public. They'd lose the vote of every voter with a below average income. I'm guessing that this argument is really aimed at wealthy Americans that don't know any poor people. This argument helps relieve them of any guilt they may have about prospering from the suffering of others and exempts them from following up on any of the obligations of the Christian faith to help those in need. (And just in time for the holidays!)<BR/> It's a shame that Citigroup has fallen into the trap of the liberal media. Fortunately, they've fallen into the arms of foreign investors who obviously don't read the New York Times.Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06674487559605740272noreply@blogger.com
