Since the advent of the Reagan years, fiscal conservatives have constantly railed against any government assistance whatsoever for the middle-class, labeling the practice “wealth redistribution.” But the national financial crises over the past three decades, including the current proposal by the U.S. government to bail out high-level Wall Street conglomerates, reveal the hypocrisy of their argument.

Off to school again for the 1st and 2nd grade children in the Risper household. I think that summer dragged on this year and I was starting to feel it in my bones. Labor Day marks less labor for me. It seems like I work harder in the summer. I think that children get lazy and restless. They stay up late and if you have the leisure, you don’t have to worry about them getting up to do anything.
