Obama Axes Pentagon Plan To Build Billion Dollar Dragon mech

[Geno]

I'd like him to cut taxes for the middle class and increase taxes on the wealthy and large corporations, personally, but that seems like another campaign promise he'll renege at this point.

This is the single most obvious solution to the problem of poverty and everyone in the world knows it, but it's not going to happen. The rich are always in power, not that every rich person is greedy, but enough of them are to keep any sort of major legislation from being passed. Of course, their guilty consciences (ironic, I know) force them to create the excuse that they "work harder" than the single mom who works three jobs and can barely afford to pay off the mortgage on her shack and put food on the table. They can also lob around the term "socialist" and expect everyone to just accept that as inherently evil.
