1. No compassion, no wisdom of that trickle down doesn't work, just fear
of the desperate unemployed. What is wrong with these people!

2. The Unemployed SHOULD be in the streets!
And the rest of us should join them!

People have been saying: "Americans won't take action until they get desperate!" Well kiddies, more and more of our brothers and sisters are desperate, really desperate!

5. A few thoughts
I don't believe the Republicans in office now and in January are capable or intelligent enough to understand what "Civil unrest" means. I don't think they get that they are setting the stage for anything that happens. They never directly experience the results of their politically poor decisions.

I also believe the Republicans have been so blinded by their racism that they think "Civil Unrest" only applies to racially motivated events.
They have no comprehension that this time it's beyond their narrow minded beliefs.

Now it gets even better because they falsely believe that their Teabag/Republican supporter will stand behind them while the poor an middle class families starve and become homeless. The Republicans don't have to fear the Democratic supporters it's their own supporters that they will have to fear.

7. Well November 30
has come and gone and December 31 is fast approaching. And it looks like they will put in benefits for the Bush Tax cuts for the top 2%. Oh Happy Days are Here again for them.
