Sure, I'm grateful to have a job and insurance for my family. I'm not grateful for lying corporate greed bigwigs taking advantage of tax cuts to line their pockets. And the crooked politicians who stab tax payers in the back at every turn. How about giving the middle class and low income a substantive tax cut? Unemployment is not a pure indicator, specially for those who are marginalized out of the work force. Ask those who were layoff and their ability to find comparable employment/pay/benefit. I am all for free open market competition, but there is no fairness for the 99% when the greed and powerful are blatantly hording wealth in the open. You tell your kids to play fair, shouldn't the 1% do the same?
