How America Is Rigged for the Rich

[Cal33]

<< When the richest 400 families in America have more wealth than the bottom 155 million
Americans combined, the danger to the republic is far more clear and present than that
posed by the "welfare queens" of lore or by anecdotes of shiftless inner-city men.
[by Eric Liu] >>

Democratic Centrist Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama have not been able to change
the above. I don't know how hard they have tried, but you can bet Bernie Sanders will be
doing his damnedest to turn things around. And Elizabeth Warren will be doing her
damnedest right there along with him.

It won't be an easy job to accomplish, because the super rich will be fighting hard with all
their dirty tricks to maintain their privileged practically tax-free status. One of those dirty
tricks is their putting the blame on Welfare for the Poor. The 90% Republican-owned
news media repeatedly blow up with their repeated stories how much the poor are getting,
and, at the same time, hiding the fact that the Super Rich are getting at least 3 times more.
This fight of Bernie's is going to take a long time before he will succeed, and he will need
all the help he can get.

Yes, Welfare for the Rich is costing the American tax-payer at least 3 times more than
Welfare for the Poor!!! The Republican masses don't know that, of course, but the Repub.
leaders sure do know, and they keep on trying to remove Welfare for the Poor as well as
Social Security -- which has been paid for by the American workers throughout their working
lives and costs the Government nothing -- in order to pay back the debts to their Corporate
masters, and it's at our expense. This means you and me.

The time for Real Change has come. It's Now!

1. KNR for trickle up economics. n/t

[Cal33]

5. From top to down it's a trickle, yes. But from down to top, the Corporate executives demand

not a trickle, but a FLOOD from the ordinary people. That's their modus operandi.

6. Trillion-dollar war here, a 400 billion-dollar tax cut there ...

... the upward trickle is just a little ... more ROBUST. More of a torrenty-trickle, if you will.

3. And it's a self perpetuating cycle.

The more money they amass, the more they or their minions rig things to allow them to amass more money.

[Cal33]

7. Correct. And what do they do with all that money that they've taken from the ordinary people? They

use it to control and restrict them. This has been going on for some decades now. America is
becoming less and less a democracy, and more and more a fascist dictatorship. Many people
consider us an Oligarchy, not the Democracy we once were.
