    We could have started tackling this a decade ago had it not been for the Democratic Party.

    Gee I wonder why the politicians entrenched in power don’t simply tax the corporations who are presently paying record low levels of taxes, in order to pay for better living conditions for the people?

      Doing anything about it is a risk most can’t afford to take. Smart rich people are worried, they know what will happen as the dumb rich people keep squeezing us… Eventually we’ll reach the point where we have nothing left to lose, and that’s when shit will hit the fan, suddenly and without warning.
