The rich will find themselves going from laughing their way to the bank to crying and pleading their way to the guillotine if they don't stop flaunting their vulgar greed.<br /><br />People who own $1500 blenders will be the first against the wall when the revolution comes.

Whether these people are stupid or liars or misled, they will not govern adequately unless by accident. They must be pressured to do the right thing, just as Johnson pressured Congress to pass the Civil Rights Act and the North forced the South to give up slavery.<br /><br />They are trying to bring back economic slavery--we work for little or no pay because they steal our labor--and either we fight or we lose.<br /><br />The establishment left had their chance and they decided to be sycophants for the rich instead of doing their job. The left will not like this but nobody forced them to sell us out. They told themselves that they were doing it for civil rights and it was worth the sacrifice, but I am tired of being sacrificed so the upper class left can get invited to elite political brunches.<br /><br />It's a war. It's going to get ugly. But the establishment will lose because we are still getting poorer and sooner or later we will get mad. Thanks to their actions there are a lot more poor now than there used to be. They are counting on the fact that we are hippies and hippies are supposedly too cowardly and idle and stoned to fight. <br /><br />Are they right?Susan of Texashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00076915322771385454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2222630007427380394.post-59960314090394100692014-11-12T08:34:54.755-06:002014-11-12T08:34:54.755-06:00The law remains unpopular, and no, I don’t want to...<i>The law remains unpopular, and no, I don’t want to hear your explanation about how actually it’s really popular if you look at the polls right.</i><br /><br />You mean like the poll that asks if they like Obamacare they say no and if you ask them whether they like the provisions of the ACA they say yes? One might begin to suspect that if it weren't for a constant barrage of propaganda, people might actually vote in their interests. <br /><br />There is also the issue of a sizable opposition to Obamacare that is because they feel it doesn't go <i>far enough</i>.
