10. I hope nobody is surprised by this call

they've been pushing towards this goal for years - just haven't said it outright. Abolishing the minimum wage and the safety net, increasing household debt, etc. Keep it up, and pretty soon you get the "Taxpayer Debt Relief" program where you can work (for free) until your debt is paid off.

On a humorous note, many years back here on DU (maybe 2005 or 2006?), I posted here on DU that I had seen a young woman in Connecticut driving a car with a confederate flag bumper sticker. She also had a "Nuke their ass and take their gas" bumper sticker as well. So, I made the response that how would we retrieve the "gas" from the nuclear wasteland? So, somebody on here made the sarcastic comment, "they would send the illegal immigrants there to do it."
