7. The Middle Class was once a great and admirable body of people.

We also deserved no scorn, but we are beset on all sides by those of the One Percent who have nothing but scorn for us. Although they do tend to have absolutely lovely manners.

Why shouldn't they have lovely manners? We have seen such such a huge transfer of wealth from the Main Street shops to the coffers of the One Percent. That transfer involved a coup d'etat of the entire election process. That transfer at first rivalled and then surpassed the transfer of wealth from the merchant class in France to the nobility. Many of those who are now among the 42% of all America's registered voters who have distaste for BOTH PARTIES, know that the transfer when tallied correctly amounts to $ 222,000 per man, woman and and child.

We are arrested for various sundry charges, which may or may not exist in reality. The police ignore state laws if the local cheats and hoodwinkers in County government are bail bondsmen. Someone in Calif is arrested every 39 minutes for the crime of using marijuana. Sen Boxer is now in cahoots with the Big Pharmaceutical companies, as otherwise her voice, which used to be raised loudly and strongly for righteous causes, has remained silent on the issue of people in Calif being arrested and put in jail for pot.

We are told the way to change things is through the "democratic election process" but are thwarted at every turn. For instance, Sanders did not win his own home turf on the East Coast because a voter purge of 100,000 Democratic voters' names left him unable to receive those votes.

You might go on the internets and try and look at all the various voting atrocities that have already occurred. Here is a link to a post that although removed by jury decision lists various "hassles" and subterfuges utilized by the opposition to hurt the Sanders Campaign. You can unhide the post, as I just did to read it:
