1. Isn't that the truth!

[MoonRiver]

6. ...

[GP6971]

11. Welcome to DU!!

Tell us how you really feel!

[NewHendoLib]

12. I don't think you got the point....but that's not a surprise

[sarisataka]

13. Is it that time already?

[FalloutShelter]

2. An old "joke"

A billionaire, a working class white man and an immigrant( non white... fill in the blank) are sitting at a table.

On the table is a box of one dozen doughnuts.

The billionaire takes eleven doughnuts from the box and begins stuffing his mouth with them.

The Immigrant and the white worker eye the remaining doughnut.

The billionaire pauses, and says to the white worker, "That immigrant is taking your doughnut."

[anti stupid]

3. the second guy has his guns and bible though....so

[Wounded Bear]

4. And if he would just shoot the rich guy, a lot of problems would be fixed...

[paleotn]

16. White guy and brown guy team up to take their fair share of donuts

And rich guy is powerless to stop them if they recognize they have more in common with each other than either does with the rich guy. Unfortunately, that would take thought. Something the white guy isn't good at.

[pandr32]

18. +1

[multigraincracker]

5. No, no, no that's what

guillotines are for.

[JHB]

7. They never call it "redistribution of wealth" when it's redistributed upward

[calimary]

17. BOOM!!!

You just came up with an OUTSTANDING talking point!, JHB!

They never call it "redistribution of wealth" when it's redistributed upward.

Tax the super rich! Help THEM help us ALL!

[JHB]

37. You're mistaken in using the word "just". I've used this talking point for years.

Likewise, every Progressive policy point can be described in Star-Spangled terms. You don't even need to invoke "fairness."

It's all about checks and balances and separation of powers. Things are structured so that no single faction can have enough power to run roughshod over its opposition. That principle is explicit in the Constitution for political power, but it applies to economic power as well.

[calimary]

43. Good to know! VERY glad you've done so!

[Wounded Bear]

22. Like saying: It's not class warfare unless the lower classes fight back...

[certainot]

8. so that's what limbaugh's mansion looks like!

[UCmeNdc]

9. FOX News reports it as News!

So it must be true, since FOX news reported it as true.

[paleotn]

14. The GQP and idiot Amurka in a nutshell.

Brown people. The perfect scapegoats for poor life choices.

[whathehell]

30. Don't be an "Idiot 'murkan", yourself..There's an Idiot France,

an Idiot Britain, an Idiot Everywhere....We're not unique in that regard.

[paleotn]

31. There's variation in idiot saturation

In that regard, Amurka is tough to beat. As an example, I give you the warm, sunny state of Floriduh.

[whathehell]

41. That might be because, compared to the other developed nations of

the world, America is "tough to beat" in terms of sheer numbers.

The population of our One country, for instance, surpasses that of about Twenty Five of those in the European Union..It's a good bet that, combined, their idiocy level would equate, if not surpass, that of our own.

[GP6971]

34. Well, hi!!

Welcome to DU...again.

[paleotn]

36. Just what we need.

More folks with reading comprehension issues.

[GP6971]

38. This one just keeps

coming back just to banned.

[paleotn]

35. And I'd bet dollars to donuts....

the lady you mention who who works as a school janitor doesn't blame brown people for the fact she's a janitor. Reading comprehension. Try it some time.

[Iggo]

15. That's the only thing I say on the matter when I'm talking to coworkers.

“If you’re wondering where your money went, stop looking at the people who don’t have any, and start looking at the people who have more than ever.”

[Meadowoak]

19. This should be a bumper sticker, and it should be on nearly every car in America.

Also it could be a 10 second tv commercial that should run 5 times every hour on every channel.

[YoshidaYui]

20. Racism pure and simple

shit I run across every once in a while and I am not an immigrant. Born here, raised here... but still I am Asian American and people treat me like my family just fell off the boat.

[Caliman73]

24. Are people amazed at how well you speak English?

Used to happen to me all the time. Hasn't happened in awhile though.

[YoshidaYui]

26. yup that did happen a few times as well

or some times the reverse. I have had people come up to me speaking very fast Japanese and expect me to answer..I usually tell them my language skills in Nihongo is a bit limited... in English.

[ProfessorGAC]

42. Saw A Comic Of Korean Heritage

He was born & grew up somewhere in North Carolina, and his parents were born in Texas.
He had a bit of a twang in his voice, and when people said it was great he had no accent, he'd tell them that he did have one just like where he was from. Chapel Hill!

[uponit7771]

32. +1

[Cherokee100]

21. Is that

Is that Manchins yaught? Just wondering. Seems appropriate.

[ShazzieB]

23. Nope.

Manchin's boat isn't quite that big and fancy.

[SergeStorms]

25. Wish I could rec 10,000 times.

The only idiot is the guy in the second picture. The first guy is a greedy asshole. The second guy an idiot for believing the greedy asshole, and the people in the third picture are the salt of the earth. All they want is to be treated like human beings, with dignity, and to provide for their families.

[EarnestPutz]

27. Remember "trickle down economics"? "Trickle" was the operative term, as the real wealth....

....has always "flowed" upward.

[BobTheSubgenius]

28. Very effective!

If the old saw about pictures and words is true, this is an essay of 3014 words.

[whathehell]

29. It's not "the nation", It''s only a part of the nation and not even

even the majority. What's to be gained by characterizing an entire country on the basis of a minority?

[czarjak]

39. "We're all children of the same god" though?

[czarjak]

40. "We're all children of the same god" though?
