The Right will chip away at the social safety net and increase their own wealth
at the expense of the rapidly becoming middle lower class, and convenience the stupid masses it is good for them while strengthening their political position for another generation.


It is propaganda of the purest type, and no guns will be needed in robbing America. The White Right 2% will pay nothing and own everything. Feudal America will become reality before the end of this Century.

Or the next revolution will stop this madness.

2. That 2% number is deceiving
Those 2% have a lot of trust fund babies who are all about protecting their stipends from daddy and inheritances.

Can't leave that out of the equation.

6. What left? We only have Right and Further Right in power in this country. The
left is relegated to a few places on the internet. Clearly, those Dems who are left are not the ones leveraging power in govt.

10. Which is exactly why they are pushing to extend the Bush tax cuts for the
wealthy. It gives them more ammunition to cut the social safety net. Bigger deficits= more cuts to Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, public education, etc.

11. Yup. While they eat caviar
I asked for a raise. $3 an hour. $120 a week. They said no can't afford it. Owner comes in showing off new boots she bought to her 'girls' in the office. Cost $400 on sale.


Life truly sucks.

12. I suspect we'll see feudal America long before the end of the century. We've got a great start now.
