Even the wealthy are shopping for discounted goods.

Talkleft:

But, this year, shopping has been all about sales. Even the wealthy are looking for bargains and if they don't see them, taking a pass.

Wealthy Americans are re-evaluating their priorities and are slashing their spending at a rate unseen in decades — a move that could have dire consequences for the economy, luxury stores and high-end brands.

In response to the increasingly subdued shopping mood that began late last year, luxury brands are cutting their inventory, changing the assortment of products they offer and tweaking their advertising message.

This is the results of American greed and lack of paying attention to our Govenment. The Republicans layed out this plan when Clinton was President. But Americans got caught up in dirt and scandals. Clinton cheated on his wife not the American people. But the fix was on and with using God's name the GOP had the American people hook line sinker. The plan worked very well as Americans followed the Bush Administration like sheep. One smart thing was to buy the Media and keep Americans dumb by having them watch American Idol and not read for themselves.
While visiting Canada most knew more about what was going on in the US then Americans. The foreign press just lays it out there while our Media covers things up.

Obama said it right we win together or lose together. The Wealthy and the Middle Class have been robbed. The Poor are still poor. I remember hearing someone say I can feel your pain, well the Wealthy/Middle Class can now feel the pain of the poor. Poor people are grateful for the little things like good health, waiting up in the morning and have a roof over their head the rest is extra. Wealthy people now have to do without something they took for granted and the Middle Class will have to for go those perks. Life is strange but now we know God's plan. Americans followed Bush/Cheney blindly without questioning their actions and only continued to be selfish taking everything for granted. Now God is making us learn like children and maybe just maybe we wont do it again. We have a voice/brain use it and don't fall for the tricks Satan uses or the people that follow him.
