If it all goes South, who do you think will be afforded protection?

It's poor slobs like you and I who will be burned out.

Personally, I expect to see WWIII within the next 10 years. Lotta hate in this world, and it's gettin' worse by the minute.

And with that cheerful thought, I think I'll just get drunk and be somebody.

Great, then where are you going to find employment? Class war is exactly what the left perpetuates with virtually every utterance. Where are you going to get 70% of taxes?

Who needs taxes when the wealthy's over-reaching ultimately leads to the confiscation of their property.

It never ceases to amaze me how government workers petitioning the government for more money APPEARS to resonate with the proletariat.

I'm beginning to think the proletariat class no longer exists, at least not in sufficient numbers.

C'mon Chas, you know better than that. The thing that resonates is the loss of the ability join together to have a chance for fair wages and working conditions. The public favored the salary cuts the public workers will have to take, but a large majority opposed the theft of the collective bargaining rights. Most people also realize that the agenda of the gub and other Koch sycophants does not end with public employee unions, and much of the support comes from that realization. The public also hates a power play - the gub had agreement to the cuts he wanted, but he overreached by going beyond that to try to break the unions. I suppose that those of us affiliated with the labor movement should thank the gub, because he has done a terrific job of firing workers up.

Regards,

D-Ray

Who employs you? And no, I'm not a trickle down proponent, but every dollar of value needs to be produced somewhere. That somewhere is a business entity not government. Ideally, we would have many more smaller businesses than the transnational corporations we have today.

Right, it is like that broad on FOX argued, those poor Wall Street people can barely get by on $250,000 but where do those teachers get off thinking they are worth $50,000

All depends whose ox is being gored, does it not?

BTW will all the pissing and moaning about "taxpayers", I was not aware that public sector employees are exempt from paying taxes - did I miss something?

There is some truth to this assertion IMHO. OTOH, now that Huckabee has said it, it has been summarily discredited.
