3. You are more than right
They are waiting for these people to die. I too am sick of hearing the latest phrase "distribution of wealth" criticized as if they were dirty words. I keep thinking of the French revolution and "let them eat cake" philosophy. "Personal responsibility" another vile statement.

That fuckin' Elizabeth Hasselbeck actually said today "corporations don't pay taxes" blah, blah blah
and she was serious. She meant that they shouldn't have to pay them. Then talks about small businesses that will be hurting with Obama's plan.
It's so sickening. And so many people fall for this shit. They blame the poor. They blame the victim. A couple of years ago a person was killed (ran over by a car) because they had been sleeping on the ground waiting in line for a temp job in the morning. And this is America?

Our food banks in K.C. had to come on TV and basically beg because they were empty and the demand was quadruple what it normally is. I do believe there will be food riots at some point.

What also pisses me off is all the empty buildings around town. Thousands of them that have been empty for years that rich bastards use as a tax right off so they just count it as a loss and keep it empty. And yet we are going to see tent cities spring up across our country.

Please video the situation. This country needs to wake up to its third world status.
