I think you mean "at will employment" states.

2) The fact that the press glosses over items such as this while the "right talk show hosts" make light of the misfortune and spin the facts so that people don't know what to believe and are so tired of the bickering between left and right and the feelings that what they say doesn't matter they have lost hope and believe they cannot change anything.
We have to get ourselves out of the hole we dug, but we need to do so in a way that is fair to all not just overburdening the middle class and poor and allowing the rich to get off scot free.

Damn. I was agreeing with you so much until the last sentence.
Once again, class: The lower 50%, which is the poor and some of the middle class, AREN'T OVERBURDENED WITH INCOME TAXES, BECAUSE THEY DON'T PAY ANY.
