Do you think the rich and our corporate masters are |
|
beginning to realize there are worse things than paying a little more in taxes?
Seems to me that a default might take a little bigger chunk out of their holdings than a 2% increase in the marginal rates, or the loss of some subsidies.

1. Yes. That's exactly what's happening. |
|
Now they, upon realizing it, are telling the Republicans what to do.

2. Perhaps they are beginning to realize that making people crazy, like they have with the tea baggers, |
|
makes for people who act unpredictable and will bite you in the ass. How else to describe the teabaggers desire for the debt ceiling to fail. It will be interesting to see if the rich & gop try and dial back the teabaggers & the koches.

7. Maybe the Tea-baggers are trying to bring about financial Armagedden |
|
that would cause violent rioting in the streets of America...then when President Obama declares Martial Law, they can say; "see, Glenn Beck was right". :crazy:

Ergo, duck for the swinging pendulum.

My pop use to fly a superconnie. And my son loves all airplanes. He's wanted to fly since he was two. :)

4. They knew it all along-- they aren't morons. This whole "threat" is a scam. |
|
And anyone making compromises to Republicans in the name of this scam is in on it.

8. Why would they pay more in taxes? All they have to do is pass a 'clean' debt limit increase. nt |

|
They have just gotten greedy with the wealth transfer, they want all of it.

10. I think some of them are already out of the country and the |
|
remainder are simply attempting to gather sufficient wealth to be "bullet proof" and somewhere remote, should wide spread panic and anarchy (sounds like a punk concert....) visit the US. The dupes that are shielding them politically are angry tea bagger types who are too dumb to know better or are rascist types. These folks are America's ugly under belly and are EASY to sway, politically, if you just throw them some catch phrases and a masculine, seemingly patriotic phrase or two.
The remainder are the true NUTS, in my opinion - the religious zealots - "end times" fundamentalists and orthodox jews who are more loyal to Israel than the US. A truly unholy alliance. They would like to see the US default because it would be fun and all! You know.... just like a big disaster movie! Don't worry, though, all the librul pinkos get it in the end and superman, jesus, and batman save the day and rapture us up!!! O8) All you can do is laugh.
