You know the 1% are ripping us off to an astonishing extent, right?

62. Your posts are giving me much hope,

that more of us are aware of the enslavement du jour: radical income inequity. When individuals are overwhelmed with the anxiety of insufficient income to allow for both food on the table and essential meds, political activism falls by the wayside. When exercising our right to protest nets us ridicule and broken skulls, more of us will remain ensconced in our hovels. HOWEVER, when more of us are facing homelessness and food deprivation, all bets will be off!

The small number of DUers who persist in idolizing Mr. Obama cannot get outside their sanctimonious, self-congratulatory sycophancy to acknowledge that our nation has been usurped by the corporate megalomaniacs who own our media, our politics AND our global economy. Early in Obama's first term, I thought he was merely a simulacrum. Now, I feel that his actions are the measure of the man. What a sad legacy for our party AND our nation.

(BTW, I've been warning about the corporate megs since St. Ronnie's reign of terror -- and there's another example of a prez who was idolized by a pernicious group of sycophants...)
