It's The Wealthy, Stupid

Louann Livengood's story in the Frederick News Post is indeed heart rending, after all small businesses are a major part of the issues and concerns that Green Party activists are involved with every day.
Now, I don't know why Ms Livengood's unemployment insurance payment increased, but I do know some things. And her reaction concerns me on several levels.
I don know that the incredibly wealthy in this country have just reaped a tremendous profit from the economic disaster that has befallen this nation.
As a result of the greed, immorality, and deceit of the wealthy few, millions of Americans have been forced out of their employment, lost their homes, lost them ability to get medical care, and have been impoverished, or are on the brink.
These heartless thieves have taken working people's savings. This includes the meager profits of hard working small business owners like Ms Livengood.
In an effort to assist the people put out of work by greedy bankers and speculators, states make available unemployment payments to those in need.
I'm sure Ms Livengood supports assistance to those in need.
But who does she blame for her tax increase misfortune? The government.
I hope that Ms Livengood has the ability to see beyond the knee-jerk, ignorant reaction that blames the government for all the nation's problems and see the real culprit.
The wealthy.
