Poll question: The Elite Messing with Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid will be the Tipping Point |
|
Do you think that this will be the tipping point where a large majority of Americans will stand up to the elite and just say, NO?
Or do you think this too shall pass with little fan fare, and things just carry on, with the banksters taking everything from us?

1. Um, that's "fanfare" as in a trumpet fanfare -- not "fan fare" as in comicon or something. |

2. So, I guess that means you'd say no, that won't be the tipping point |

But just let those bastards make a typo or misspell something!

20. If they don't, no one will know because the media is not ours. n/t |

7. Hey, let's tip something. |
|
Anybody into cow tipping?
The assholes got control of society shortly after we invented agriculture. Before that, nobody had time to be a full-time parasite. So, beginning with supporting priesthoods, we've been feeding the bloodsuckers for about 10,000 years now. It's getting old, if ya ask me. They're getting better at being parasites, and we're getting better at delivering our blood to them.
Yeah. Let's go tip something.

6. In mid term elections, the answer is YES! No matter how much the media says |
|
it's the Pubs who haveall the energy, it's the seniors who ALWAYS vote!That's one of the reasons I really wondered where their brains were when several of the pUb candidates said they wanted to cut SS or privatize it. Surely THEY KNOW who most of the mid termvoters are. I'mactually veryhappy they are being so stupid. There's far too much info available that proves SS is not in te bad shape the Pubs keep saying. YES it's supported by a lot of IOU's, but they are TREASURY BONDS and like it or not, congress is going to HAVE to pay back the $$ they borrowed.
I think this one issue may be the reason Rand Paul loses in Ky. Of course one of the other candidates that wants to privatize SS along with getti rid of medicare is Angel in Nv. SHE however has so many reasons not to vote for her, SS is only one small one.

9. But what if the deem leadership want to mess with them, too |
|
I fear that the elites know that the way to do it, is to have the dems do it e.g. Welfare 'reform' (cuts)

Because if some so called elitist shit heads go fucking around with my ability to get therapy,control pain (spinal neuropathy), Get food and survive they will be fucking with my life too far.And if they insist on robbing the most poor & disabled people of their right to EXIST,while they have ALL they could ever need or want already at the whine of a piggy..They sure as hell will get one very pissed off tiger all claws ready for a flaying apart those so called 'elite' ass hats and those stupid 'beliefs' they use to justify their non-existent 'status' and 'deservedness',and this kitty is doesn't tolerate narcissistic greed-head asshole pretenders in denial trying to rationalize their own insatiable addiction to acquisition,abuse of power, and greed,to the point they go robbing people that have nothing..dare to think they'll get away with it,they won't.I got a brain and a voice I know how to use them...And I just love making rich pasty snotty ayn rand, leo strauss worshiping elitist bully scumbags eat their own bullshit in front of everyone.I will tip any sacred cow they set up...and laugh at them as they run from their precious falling cow that crushes them.

It will be the point where seniors and others stand up to the Democrats and say you sold us out.

The PTB will continue on their path and anyone who speaks out forcefully against them will be crushed one way or another.

16. but sometimes it goes the other way |
|
and if enough folks speak out and up, they have often changed history. http://static.guim.co.uk/Guardian/observer/gallery/2008/jan/17/1/PD7860901@29th-March-1968,-Memp-413.jpg more... Civil Rights March

17. That was when some of our leaders still had a conscience.. |
|
I'm starting to think that is not the case any more, the last ten years have shaken me to my very core.
I'm older, wiser and far more bitter than I was on election day in 2000.

19. i think they were just plain scared then, and that is why they changed everything |
|
particularly, wiping out the middle class... at that time we were economically secure, and we and/or our children could afford to protest, strike, etc. but now they have us by the balls... they destroyed our unions, and our families, and everyone is just working to survive, if they are lucky enough to have jobs at all.
but i do believe folks will reach their limit, and the next time we speak out, will make the 60's look like a walk in the park.
you are wiser, but not alone, and our ranks grow daily. :hi:

14. Many Americans support those against them. |
|
It will be the tipping point for the Democratic Party. If they participate, the party will splinter apart for good.

21. If by the elite, you mean conservative dems |
|
Then yes. It will be their complete undoing. If by elite, you mean the ultra rich billionaires pulling the strings of the tea party puppets and assorted right wing think tanks, then no. They will survive as they always have.
