Ok, so a friend of mine posted this "9 out of 10 People are wrong…" video on FB and a tea bagger

chimed in. My eyes were violently assaulted by this bagger. I am not sure whether I want to tear him apart or not, as I am coming down with a migraine (I get them frequently) my malevolence could be a result of that.

Here is the vid she posted: http://www.utrend.tv/v/9-out-of-10-americans-are-completely-wrong-about-this-mind-blowing-fact/

Here is what the bagger posted as a result: watched it. Here is the problem that this little marxist prep video misses. Every single social welfare program has had the effect of eroding middle class wealth (due to the transfer to the lower class) and the lower class grows in dependency. They have no wealth because they simply live off the system. LBJ's great society was the worst offender of them all.

The upper class problem is really a reflection of the middle and lower class values problems. Think about it, some random dude makes millions by rapping about smacking around women, bending them over the bed and having their way with them, and then smoking some weed. The wealth issue is truly a symptom of a society in the exponential part of the decay curve.

We have professional sports stars making ridiculous sums of money...why? Because people show up at the events and pay money to see it. Same for Hollywood. You see, it's not their fault, it's ours.

You had to know I was going to jump all over this one

If they only could understand who is really taking their wealth maybe we could get to a better place.

until we're all utterly poverty stricken. Pretty soon there will be very few Democrats who will have the time or the resources to be politically active.
