Where? I didn't do anything you didn't implicitly do yourself.

Perhaps you are correct and I don't understand the "spin". I present facts in the OP, you present a letter from "The Average American", I respond to "The Average American", and now you speak for yourself and your self alone. Yes, this is difficult for my "myoptic" mind. Or, maybe rather than being "myotic", I simply live on the sunny side of the street.

I'm sorry. The letter wasn't actually from the average american. It was actually from me. It was kinda like a way for me to say something general. You would be correct to assume that i was speaking only from my perspective and not this "other side" that you mentioned.
I'm confused. At first you simply put me in the "other side" category, which apparently you did as a response to me claiming to speak on behalf of the average american. Does this mean you see the average american as having a perspective counter to yours? What exactly did you mean by "the other side"?
Why the trouble with the word myopic? It means shortsighted. As in "Relying on economic indicators that are many times removed from any kind of relevance to the vast majority of americans as proof of the well-being of the vast majority of americans is short-sighted."
I don't live on the sunny side of the street when it comes to economic theory. I have as much faith in economists as i do in pat robertson's ability to divine the intentions of jesus christ. I don't think supply side economics are working because i don't see any actual proof that very many people are better off because of supply side economics.
