Tea Party voters in my town are pretty sick of the Tea Party.

32. I read your post with horror. But I can't say that I disagree much with it. Rich people need

to condition themselves to think about the greater needs of a civil society. If rich people, as a group, continue along the current path, they will ultimately be destroyed. The rich's political agents first went after Unions that didn't get much sympathy from society, such as auto Unions. Then the rich's agents went after civil municipal and Teacher's Unions. The agents of the rich are finally gearing up to go after cop and firefighter Unions, two which were protected due to their political influence. My sense is that busting cop and firefighter Unions will be the rich's Waterloo, they will do damage, but in doing so, will reignite the Union movement in this country, and ultimately worldwide.

I don't see my society becoming uncivil enough to attack people simply for who they are on a massive scale. But I also do see it allowing the rich to keep pushing everyone else into a smaller and smaller economic space.
