On edit: You can shear a sheep many times, but you can only skin him once.

Well, they've given up their ability to shear him...

it is still a sacrifice.

5. Having to act like they care about the Aruba story on watching Fixed News
Imagine having to actually talking yourself into agreeing with the filthy likes of Coulter, O'Reilly, Hannity...

...it must be torture.

6. Responsibility.
It's more like evasion, though.

8. Elites hell! Only the soldiers and their families have sacrificed
The rest of the country hardly knows there's a war on. Oh, except for putting those ribbon thingies on their cars. Whatever those cost have been the total sacrifice for some people.

9. Oh the middle class has helped the country by being under-employed
and thus reducing inflation while Oil goes up. That keeps the markets going.

Trust me. The middle class & poor have done much in the way of sacrifice to give this economy to the rich. Their salaries are lower. They cannot count on job security. They have done their part.

11. Not if he is illegal. But if he is illegal he will be paying taxes when
sales tax comes into play. The elites will not - but he will loose a chunck of cash every time he tries to eat or read.
