"Makers vs. Takers" and why it's dangerous

[Ian]

The left has found God? WhatchootalkingaboutWills?

The DNC got into trouble for forgetting to include the word God in their party platform before the convention this past summer. I'd say the left hasn't been especially cozy with religion since the Carter era.

Does that mean we're not going to mass in DC?

Society is a pyramid, with the further down you go the more people there are. Everyone in each layer is reliant on on all the people in the layers below even if its just for the masses not to revolt and kill you.

There is no makers and takers just an interconnected society

We could all run into the National Cathedral and let off some fireworks if you like.

Why would anyone want to fuck the poor? They have poor dental health and bad skin. Eating them is a different proposition, though it's necessary to stew them or slow cook over low heat as they're either grotesquely fat or thin and stringy.

The Democratic Party is now "Left?" And, for a while there I was told they were "center right." Huh. Gettin' cornfusin' here...

Meh, I'm not too into dark meat.

Everything is relative.

Or call yourself "Cock Riot" and sing shit punk songs.

Ignored Seth's rants. I've heard it all before Seth.

And you still don't have a rational rebuttal, so you turn to personal attack instead, just as I said. Thanks for proving what a lackwit you still are.

Yep. Very much this. Libertarians seem to think they built all their wealth on their own, without any aid from society. The fact that they had a stable society that provided all the services and opportunities for work and commerce is totally lost to them. Or, they know this, and they choose to ignore it. Same outcome either way.

There are 47.1 million Americans who depend on food stamps to eat. The elites are plotting to take these food stamps away, along with other “entitlement” programs that keep the poor from destitution. The slashing of trillions of dollars from Medicare, Medicaid and other social programs, given the political impasse in Washington and the looming “fiscal cliff,” now seems certain. There are 50 million people considered to be living below the poverty line, but because the poverty line is so low—$22,350 for a family of four—this figure means nothing. Add the tens of millions of Americans who live in a category called “near poverty,” including all those families attempting to live on less than $45,000 a year, and you have at least 30 percent of the country living in poverty. Once these people figure out that there is no economic recovery, that their standard of living is going to continue to drop, that they are trapped, that hope in the future is an illusion, they will become as angry as protesters in Greece and Spain or the militants in Gaza or Afghanistan. Banks and other financial corporations, handed trillions in interest-free money from the Federal Reserve, meanwhile hoard $5 trillion, much of it looted from the U.S. Treasury. The longer this worldwide disparity and inequality is perpetuated, the more the masses will revolt and the faster we will internally replicate the Israeli model of domestic control—drones overhead, all dissent criminalized, SWAT teams busting through doors, deadly force as an acceptable form of subjugation, food used as a weapon, and constant surveillance.

As I've said before, starvation isn't a flaw of capitalism, it's a feature. I'm just an environmentalist after all, concerned about overpopulation.
