(45,984 posts)It is a metaphor for that that will bring the government down on us. The government will come down on us whenever we go through it and not use it. Of course the government will come down when we go after the banksters because it is the banksters' government, not ours.
I'm more afraid of my children and grandchildren living in a world where working people will not be adequately rewarded for their labor and have industrial and financial aristocrats steal from them as the landed aristocracy stole from our peasant ancestors than I am of being shot or hanged for rising up. I'm sixty-two and living on disability. Koch-snorting bastards like Paul Ryan say my disability payments make me lazy and ought to be cut from the budget. After that, there's not much more they can take from me, like about a third of the years I was allotted, max. If it destroys corporate criminals so we can build a better world, they can have it.
