$1,800,000,000,000. That's how much middle and lower class working americans paid into the system above and beyond the normal payments since 1983. That averages out to about $16,000 per person that someone who has been working since 83 has paid in EXTRA. All as part of a regressive tax increase for us. Then it all gets divided up in Bush's tax cuts and given, disproportionately, to people who will never need it.
Stealing 1.8 TRILLION dollars should be much bigger news. It's the greatest financial crime of all time.
This should be bigger news here as well. I'm surprised workers on this site aren't cursing Greenspans head.

This vexes me. I am terribly vexed.
