Yes, it extends to the very richest of our nation wanting to live in this great country, while trying to get very single penny they can out of the economy, and screw anyone else. Especially the poor, the have nots, the hungery.

The rich are having a very bad time ... they have hoarded most of the money in the economy, 1.2 Trillion dollars. That means there is no money left for the other 90% to purchase their goods and services.

Of course, if your job is to make money by gambling (Wall Street) which way the country goes doesn't matter, as you can make as much money in the destruction of an empire as you can during the creation.

I made no distinction about who has this sense.
I am glad to know you are doing as much to help the poor and indigent in this country. I am certain you are volunteering your time and money to help.
Or does that responsibility fall on the "wealthy" too?

Do you work in commercial construction or houses/apartments? I'd guess commercial. If not, I'd like to know where private housing is thriving in multiple states right now.

See, here's the agreement in our country, according to our founding fathers, and our Constitution and Bill of Rights: we all contribute to our common society, through taxes, to our common national welfare. And even if we don't like something ... wars, or welfare ... the deal is that you have a say through the ballot box, but when you are on the losing side, you still have to do it. So everyone in this country has a responsibility to contribute. The first contribution is being an informed voter.

Primarily single family homes but we do work in the occasional multi-dwelling and rarer still in commercial.

Seriously - where are single family homes being built right now? Where is housing growth?

Private home building is thriving in CO, LA, GA, IN, NH, FL (only larger homes), AZ, CA (not southern). Those are where the majority of my projects are.
Informed voter has become an oxymoron.

Indiana surprises me. Where? Central? In association with the wind farms?

AZ isn't going to have any water. I can't believe they are still building there.
