The new normal
Heard on KPFK, that banks are about to only cater to the rich. Foregoing everyone else. The only fly in the ointment, is voting. That is the reason for the calls for ending all entitlements, Stopping the Dream act, allowing only white male property holders to vote.

The elite are about to abandon the lesser economy. Opting for barbwire and domestic use of military. Our balance of wealth has gotten so out of kilter, that servicing only the top one percent, who control 80% plus of wealth begins to make perfect business sense.

Calls for sketchy gerrymandering, eliminating all entitlements and even insurance, to disenfranchise those that might legitimately complain, is their new aim. How likely is it that they could get support? Witness all the baggers calls for just that. On cue.

Folks, this is do or die. Be miffed at Obama and Co. if you wish. Clamor for their stepping up. Even MANNING UP. But if you think that allowing the baggers druthers and full responsibility for same is the answer to anything but your demise, you are kidding yourselves.

Think those at the top care about your survival? They serve only the shareholders, and are multinational.

Hit the streets, or suffer the misery. By the time all those idiots realize THEIR asses are on the chopping block, there will exist no check or balance robust enough to listen.

We will either run the joint, or we will be run over. Those are the stakes. Let's roll.
