42. When the economy goes south...

... some ordinarily-selfish-by-nature people look for scapegoats. Someone to blame for all of their financial woes. And they have lots of cheerleaders on TV/radio: Lou Dobbs, Pat Buchanan, Rush Limbaugh, about every Republican in the United States Congress, Fox News and a world wide web for all of them to plug into. UK is not a big as the USA, so maybe it seems like there were some crazies on the "leave" side.

The difference between us and UK is the voting system. Did you see how they count their paper ballots? All the cameras? The openness of the room? One thing you can be sure of was that the counting of those votes was fair and square. Everyone that wanted to vote got in to vote.

Over here, they don't even ASK us if we want to go along with some cockamamie gimmick they have cooked up. Over here, they just do it, tell us it's be the best thing since sliced bread and proceed to cram it down our throats. 30 yrs later, the middle class is a ghost of itself, everyone's working 2-3 jobs to be able to give their children what WE had when we was kids and just the father was able to support a whole family and put the kids through college.

This is happening to all middle class people all over the world in the industrialized countries. Have you noticed the protests all over the world for the last many years? Austerity is NOT a comfortable way to live, Bernardo.

Me? I have never blamed immigrants for the plight of the middle class in this country. You know what I hear when someone blames an immigrant or a minority for all of our problems? A bigot. Cause that is exactly what they are. That is pretty damn shitty, when someone blames someone who is in a lower caste than them for all of his problems.
