Re: Romney's tax rate is only half as high as the middle class pays
the feigned indignation is amusing but I was merely recalling a quote from an article I read 25 years ago in the local paper,. it was talking about the old assembly plants for GM in Norwood Ohio that closed. the article spoke of three generations of Norwood HS boys who went to a job where being dumb didn't hurt as long as you were strong and had a good work ethic. that got you a ticket to the middle class.
Here is a reference to that plant and what happened to that city (I grew up less than a few miles from the place, my maternal grandfather worked on the border of Norwood in a machine tool factory)

What a completely ridiculous thing to say about workers who had factory jobs. Why do you need to resort to putting labels on people like DUMB and engaging in name calling? There were several men in my family and many in my neighborhood who had factory jobs and many were intelligent people who could put to shame some here who think their fancy elite school sheepskins confer IQ point upon them.
As I finished my Bachelors, I worked for six months on a garbage truck and the driver was an old guy - a tough Finn from the upper peninsula with a sixth grade education. The man could talk to you about current events and politics like you were speaking to William Buckley. Thats not a factory job but some elitists would consider that even lower I would imagine.
Please Turtle, leave the condescending elitism and name calling out of this.
