1. Obviously God chose them for being so very moral and devout. |
|
Otherwise they wouldn't be blessed with riches.
Right....? :shrug:

4. Because the rest of us don't make them. |
|
There aren't enough rich to out-vote or out-fight (or out-run) the rest of us, who get the thin end of the wedge every time.
But they keep too many of us busy worshiping their life-styles, houses, bank accounts, fame, etc.
So we don't fight back.
We really would be in control of the country if we'd recognized the enemy sooner.
Now, I wonder if it's too late.

5. Well as I've said before, it's not a class war......... |
|
until we fight back. Until then it's just class massacre.
At least this isn't another version of the "Divine Right of Wealth". :)

10. Exactly it also doesn't help that our around half of our 'leaders' work for that tiny rich minority. |

7. Because that would be "class warfare," |
|
and all discussion must cease when those two words are uttered.

8. Yep. But obviously class massacre is OK........ |
|
And by that of course, I mean the actual massacre of the middle class AS a class.

9. I'm glad this question is getting to be a bigger gorilla in the room. |
|
Getting harder to avoid, obfuscate and dissemble the basic principals of this glaringly sensible question.

11. Yep. I've wondered about the answer to this........... |
|
ever since I read "The Shock Doctrine". Very few ever ask this question and no apologist for the rich ever has an answer.
