A thought worth pondering.....
(sent to me this morning from Eric Z. - it's very good)
It’s interesting that our new President will chide CEO’s who get bonuses for going to work everyday, putting in long hours, and laying awake at night wondering how their going to stimulate enough work to keep their people employed.
Yet, he will turn around and promote programs that pass out tens of billions for people who never lift a finger and who spend their days trying to figure out how to get out of work. Interesting message he’s sending.
May I in a motherly fashion suggest that you use their and they're correctly. As well at it's not its...as per article in Teutopolis Press.

Okay, once in awhile, in my haste to get an item out, I'm not perfect in checking for errors.
While this particular piece was submitted by another, I still take full responsibilty as editor in chief.
So their...or they're.....or there!!

Thank you, Mary. You're absolutely correct regarding my corruption of the possessive form of their. That is something I usually catch people on but did fail to catch in my own writing this morning. So, here's my offer. I'll forgive your fast fingers ("As well at [sic] it's..."), if you'll forgive mine. And Bob, thanks for taking the arrow for me on this one. Mea Culpa, Mea Culpa. I'll proofread better next time.

For some reason, I have a little more sympathy for the middle class, than I do the CEO's of Wall St. The middle class are laying awake at night worrying about how they are going to pay their bills, & if they are still going to have a job, not how they are going to protect their bonuses! We have had 8 years of the wealthy getting the benefits. How has that worked for the country?

I do agree to some degree. I think hard working people should get a break compared to people that don't do much. But why shouldn't the lower class get more of a break? The lower class people are the one's that need all the help not the upper class.
