The middle class feels so screwed up, that it is easy (and to a certain extend -justified) for the government to act as Robin Hoods..In this case, Robin Hood is stealing from the middle class and giving it to the Fat Cats on Wall Street!

Wife asks, "Do these pants make me look fat?"

I'd be worried buying any condo currently undergoing an assessment.

It worked, he noticed and again threaten to boot my fat arse.
