Rich folks feel less secure
Even they get it - Radical ReThuglican Out of Control Spending is killing this country!

EW YORK (CNN/Money) - A survey finds affluent Americans growing more concerned about the state of the economy.

There has been a sharp drop among those surveyed who expect further gains for the S&P 500, and a majority now believe there is a bubble in housing prices. A growing concern about the federal budget deficit now has a strong majority preferring deficit reduction to further tax cuts.

The quarterly survey also found the economy was cited as being on par with terrorism as a national concern for the first time in six quarters.

<snip>

The survey found growing concern about the federal budget deficit, with 85 percent of respondents viewing the deficit as a problem and 57 percent seeing it as a "very serious" problem. In fact, by better than a two to one margin the affluent Americans surveyed said they would prefer deficit reduction measures instead of tax cuts.

2. That's the reason why the top 1% acts like monkeys grabbing as many
peanuts as they can. They KNOW how unstable the economy is and that their opportunity is not limitless. Their biggest fear is not that the overall economy will tank with its attendant social consequences; it fears that THEY will lose their wealth and (gasp!) be middle class or much less than middle class, thus losing status and power (and stuff . . . ).
