I AM MIDDLE-CLASS, FISCALLY CONSERVATIVE INDEPENDENT...
were should I sit, Mr. president?
Well, I am fiscally conservative independent for the last 20 years, small business owner, don't mind paying taxes for what we need to pay taxes for: police, fire, teachers & military.
I do mind paying taxes for unsustainable government expansion, Obama-care, & government bureaucracy in general.
BTW, I am from former USSR, been their, done that.

Great question. You more than likely aren't even invited.

According to the President of the United States of America there are second class citizens that must sit in the back (metaphorical). Hmm. You would think (if he was so intelligent and enlightened) he would see the irony of his own statement.

Here's a more complete quotation:
"He said Republicans had driven the economy into a ditch and then stood by and criticized while Democrats pulled it out. Now that progress has been made, he said, "we can't have special interests sitting shotgun. We gotta have middle class families up in front. We don't mind the Republicans joining us. They can come for the ride, but they gotta sit in back.""
Given that you're not a Republican and you're middle class, you can sit in front.
Are you REALLY fiscally conservative, or do you just don't like paying taxes? Are you really ready to make significant cuts in the budget, ones that will hurt you as well as other people?
