| 82. I vote for callous, because I see it all the time with "liberals" |
|
All they can see is their own muddleclass situation, and don't give a rip what happens to poor folk.
Gas a luxury???? Right, because they know *THEY* will be OK, just like richer people.
They want the sacrifices to be made by those below them.
So what if poor people can no longer even AFFORD to get to work. Big deal. They'll disappear and we won't have to think about 'em anymore.
So what if the resultant food prices mean poor folk can no longer eat anything except ramen (with no nutrition). Let 'em eat cake!
I've seen it and heard it continually here on DU and among "liberals" outside DU.
Callousness.
Studies have been posted on DU that shows exactly what I'm saying... that rising prices WILL NOT CHANGE CONSUMPTION!!
That bears repeating RISING PRICES WILL NOT CHANGE CONSUMPTION HABITS!
Learn The Facts!
All it will change is that people who haven't ANY money will not be able to survive. Their consumption will go down, all right. Because They'll Be DEAD.
Will our deaths even be recognized by liberals?
I sincerely doubt it.
