Time To Make Life Really Hard For The Rich
Splinter News ^ | 2017 | Splinter

Posted on 10/26/2019 3:54:32 PM PDT by GuavaCheesePuff

It is time for polite, respectable, rational people to start saying what has become painfully obvious: It is time to stop respecting the rich, and start stealing from them. In earnest.

Inequality is eating America alive. It has been growing for decades. To say that “the American dream is dead” is no longer a poetic exaggeration—it is an accurate description of 40 years of wage stagnation and declining economic mobility that has produced a generation that cannot expect to live better than their parents did. Not because of devastating war or plague, but because of a very specific set of rules governing a very specific economic system that encourages the accumulation of great wealth among a tiny portion of the population, to the detriment of the vast majority of people. Our political and business leaders have chosen to embrace a system that favors capital over labor. A system in which the more you already have, the more you make, and the less you have, the harder it is to build wealth. It is a system designed to increase inequality. It is functioning exactly as designed. And now, it is about to get worse.

And when the socialists in charge of the revolution get what they want, it gets even worse.

What would be the reaction of the idiot who wrote this if I were to steal from him?

After all, I’m sure he makes more than I do (I’m a widow who lives on $750 a month.)

When your son gets a $50,000 (or $83,000) a month no show job because you are Vice President we are already there.

As for me, I have no disdain for the rich, nor do I blame them for my own lot in life.

Ms Splinter does not understand economics.

The leftwads started their long march through the institutions specifically so they could finally say this. Yes there has been wage stagnation, but it was caused by the left. We don’t need to attack the rich; we need to attack the left, and not stop while there’s a single leftwad in any office.

It is time for polite, respectable, rational people to start saying what has become painfully obvious: It is time to stop tolerating communists to live.

They are enemy and should be treated as such.

A rich person is someone who’s making a buck more an hour than you.

This is true. But he seems to have a very good grasp on socialism.

Time To Make Life Really Hard For The Rich

Time to make advocacy of theft a capital crime with summary enforcement.

Have no doubt, folks. People like this author will pick up guns and enforce their demands. It has happened plenty of times before in history and they will eventually come knocking at your door...with their guns.

Go study Cuba post Castro take over.

“I wrote a best-selling book. If you write a best-selling book, you can be a millionaire, too”. That’s Bernie Sanders, who claims people who make more money are stealing it from the poor.
