I'm not sure that I agree, though I could be misinterpreting you.
I would have to admit that at this point I have a pretty class-based view of society.
My view, essentially, is that both the upper class
and under class are largely composed of scum bags and wasters that essentially exploit, and live of - in a parasitic fashion, basically -
us hard working, middle of the road types. In other words, us types that actually bother studying hard at school and don't rely on handouts unless we really have to. People that go to college through their own merits and not family connections. People that get jobs through their own merits and not being borne into the right class. People that lose their jobs because some fucking CEO that has most of his money invested in an offshore jurisdiction - and in the court of conscience, if not in an actual court, probably should be in jail - decides to take advantage of a recessionary period and fire expendable human resources.
I think it's time that the middle class and working class reasserted themselves. We've paid their way for a long time. Maybe we should stop. Maybe there's even a time at which we should take to the streets. Or maybe we should just start by thinking for ourselves.
The upper class invent all the wars, all the lies. They buy and pay PR people to sell the wars and the lies, and they are also experts at buying the right sort of legal advice to get them out of trouble any time the heat comes on.
Every single thing that was sold in the Greenspan/Bush/Cheney bubble of 2000-2006 has been exposed a complete fucking fraud. The bubble was a lie. I called it on here, in 2005/06/07, and posted at the time accordingly. I was a bit ahead of the posse, but not that much. It isn't that difficult. I am not a market genius, but I can make an educated guess on what way things are going to go. Hardly anything that has happened since has surprised me at all.
Any middle class/working class person that isn't angry right now is probably delusional, IMO. The best thing - and I think Purpleoscar has, quite rightly, made this point before - is to financially protect ourselves, in the best way we can.
That's my rant du jour - take it or leave it, gang.
