Stand Against Greed

Isn’t it curious that for the 30 years that the super riches taxes plummeted from 91 percent to 36 percent there was no talk about class warfare, but now that because of a national budgetary crisis at least partly attributable to the fact that the rich now pay less taxes than the rest of Americans, CLASS WARFARE is the latest right wing buzzwords. The right is great at coming up with these gut grabbing buzzwords such as " THE RIGHT TO WORK" or FREEDOM OF CHOISE" they all sound so good, even right but the reality is anything but. 
It was even suggested to me once that if we had real freedom there would be
A RIGHT TO DISCRIMINATE.


The rich paid many hundreds of millions to lobbyists and politicians of all stripes over the last three decades to achieve this inequity and now because of a national monetary crisis they are still unwilling to step up to the plate and pay their fair share. 

It seems the rich are not all that patriotic and would let the whole country plummet into bankruptcy and depression rather than start to pay their fair share. 
I would say it is time for the rich to give their  head a shake and willingly start acting like a patriotic concerned American citizen that has obviously done a lot better than most other American citizens thanks to an economic system that has been slowly turned even more to the super wealthy’s economic advantage. 

This is an undeniable fact that the gape between the rich and the rest of America grows farther apart every day, did the rich really believe that know one would notice or the day of reckoning would never come. 

America has become what is known to the rest of the world as a third world country with all the inequities that third world countries are known for, other than the fact that it still has a militarily that can incinerate the world 2 1/2 times over, but in the end even that will inevitably become just one more casualty of this crippling monetary crisis, as the military requires gratuitous gobs of money to carry on as well, the American dream is long gone. 

Time for the rich in America as well as Canada to step up to the plate and make the dream a reality once again.


Unfortunately this is not likely to happen as most of the supper rich are misers and will never willingly give one inch. It will take some strong politician like Franklin D. Roosevelt to force them to carry their share of the load or burden.
