I was just thinking this morning-wait until the common man finds out

[Stargazer99]

it is th the rich and the monied that are causing the problems....just like French figured out

[Aristus]

1. The French were starving. Starvation led to the guillotine.

Americans aren't starving en masse, not with the availability of cheap fast food. And with FOX News and reality TV, distracting the poor from their wretched lives has never been easier.

There are no guillotines in the future of America's wealthy...

2. just wait the rich will never be satified and want more and more

eventually the bucket will hit the bottom and I agree with your post to that extent...you see how we are being manipulated

3. Most 'common' people already know this

'the rich get richer and the poor get poorer'

...no doubt coined by a 'common' person, a long time ago

4. LBJ nailed it over 50 years ago.

"If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."

5. The French Aristocracy did not have Fox Nuze though.

6. The rich DO pay for it (even if they don't realize it)

because they're never happy or satisfied with what they DO have, always striving for more or better. I worked for 2 multimillionaire business owners for almost twenty years and saw over and over again how unsatisfied their money made them, as well as in the lives of their wealthy friends. Sure, they like that Bentley or that yacht for the moment, but as soon as an acquaintance betters them, they're no longer happy until they top them again. Enough is never enough.

The "common man" is more likely to enjoy the fruits of their labor.
