Born losers.

Rich Republicans argue against class warfare. At the same time that they wage a class war. By stealing from the poor and middle class and giving to the rich. Just the opposite of Robinhood. They'd do away with Medicare and Social Security and other social programs in order to balance the budget. And at the same time they'd give the rich lucrative tax breaks. Yes, they'd make the rich richer by picking the pockets of the less affluent. To me, that's shameful and immoral. Yes, it's class warfare. With the goal of widening the economic, political and social gap between the rich and the poor. And we common Americans, the ones in the majority, let it happen. Not sure exactly why. But it could be that we are lazy and stupid. Figuring we are powerless to serve the common good. Because America is built on the premise that people with money call the shots and rule the roost. Happens all over. On the national, state and local levels. Even in my immediate neighborhood. Someone living in a $4.5 million mansion holds far more political sway in my domain than someone living in a $500,000 shack. I know it. You know it. But like in Medieval times, the supreme rulers live in castles that make the rest of our abodes look like shacks. Things really haven't changed that much over the Ages. Class warfare has been part of the human condition forever. So much so that many common folks don't even recognize what's happening. We've been duped. Into accepting roles as born losers. --Jim Broede
