What do folks what: 

1. successful people to make less?

2. Give more of their money to the poor?

3. Throw it all in a big pot and split it evenly among everyone?

I'm middle class and I'm doing fine.

Personally, I want us to stop electing politicians who promise to spend obscene amounts of money on things we don't need all while promising to slash our taxes.  I'd like for us to treat money as if it were a viable asset and not something the government continuously prints until we all find ourselves bitterly laughing that a normal American can find himself using a credit card to buy something that used to cost 10 cents. I just get skeptical any time the government does something that would be insane or illegal for me to do.

Hey, I'm going to quit my job and then buy a giant house. It's ok, I don't need money...I'll just print it myself!

But hey, we just elected a guy who will build a giant wall for free and cut our taxes, so I'm sure we're on the right path towards that.

FAIRNESS ALERT - Obama promised to get us free phones or something, too.
