Kansas is not the best model for what is about to happen to the US

Greece is.

To compensate for the lack of tax revenues we will be put under austerity.

When that doesn’t work, more austerity. And more. And more.

1. Yep, that's always been the plan.

The GOP has been working for this since the new deal.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. And that turned out SO well.

3. Rich folks will be adding more panic rooms.

4. Once the rich fleece an entire country, I think they leave and go to greener

pastures and nicer and safer places to live.

7. New Zealand

[Irish_Dem]

8. Yes. That would work. nt

9. My theory: this is why the US govt keeps funding Mars and the Moon missions.

And why they need trillions of dollars.

6. The Gilded Age of the Robber Barons has returned.......

With a vengance thanks in part to Donald Trump and the Republicans.

There will be no US Economy when Trump is done because people will not have money to buy things, even basics like food and shelter.

10. Like Putin did to Russia. The Chinese people now have a higher standard of living than the Russians.

[Jspur]

15. I agree and

I have said before that America unfortunately goes through cycles where the Rich have extreme control followed by a disaster and then a correction. Unfortunately we are in the negative part of the cycle.

11. I'm fed up with the middle class getting screwed over. I'm going to get rich. Tomorrow. Somehow. nt

[bdamomma]

12. the rich screwed the middle class big time

apparently and after that heist vote that took place, the rich feel that they are entitled to it all.

Carlin was right all along.

Is it time for torches and pitchforks???
