402. The Good Ship Cop?

I've thought about bone-throwing very much the last 6 years. ACA (that keeps getting changed to Big Insurance's advantage), gay marriage, which has been a total boon to the economy, but as you point out, poses little threat to the ptb.

You make an excellent point about the Russian Revolution & the possibility that it sparked a few concessions stateside. However, the effective tax rate on the wealthy was much higher then. Corporations were content to make profits. Now corporations expect & aren't willing to accept anything less than obscene profits. That's a huge change, plus, there's no longer regulations to contain them, they rove the planet looking for new labor markets to exploit & new places to hoard their money, w/o concern for environment or people. IOW, parasites, takers, destroyers.

Dept. of Homeland Security is nothing but a vehicle for corruption, graft, & manipulating the emotions of the public. W/ NSA & the way our local Peace Officers have been militarized, it's hard to believe a populist revolution isn't very much on the minds of our dear leaders.
