(7,581 posts)when I retire. So when my governor starts going after state pensions, I will be hurt. I may lose it. But I agree with Manny in a way, especially after seeing how 30% of labor voted for Walker the other day. Take my pension, take away my right to bargain for my salary and benefits, and I will vote for you??? I spend a lot of time trying to figure this out. How can this be?? How ignorant are we, as a people?? What will it take for the 99% to figure out that the 1% is not their friend?? Will it take utter poverty and despair? And then who knows who will come riding in to save them? In a way, I think Romney, a shark of a businessman, is that monster on a horse. Lots of people think because he was a businessman, he can fix the economy. They forget, so so quickly, about GW Bush, an MBA.
At this point, I am close to despairing that the 99% will all wake up. What will it take?? Rather than beat up on Manny with oh-so-clever rejoinders, I would love to see what everyone here thinks it will take to wake up the other side of we the people.
