The ruling class’s appetite for deference, power, and perks grows. The country class disrespects its rulers, wants to curtail their power and reduce their perks. The ruling class wears on its sleeve the view that the rest of “Americans are racist, greedy, and above all stupid. The country class is ever more convinced that our rulers are corrupt, malevolent, and inept. The rulers want the ruled to shut up and obey. The ruled want self-governance. The clash between the two is about which side’s vision of itself and of the other is right and which is wrong. Because each side — especially the ruling class — embodies its views on the issues, concessions by one side to another on any issue tend to discredit that side’s view of itself. One side or the other will prevail. The clash is as sure and momentous as its outcome is unpredictable.”
The outcome I believe is quite predictable, the people will prevail and the ruling government will fall.
I’d love to be a part of it !!
A perverse aspect of our country is that the welfare class, the ‘professional poor’ are also running this country through their voting in politicians who promise to keep the perks going and to keep getting more and more and more.
The people slaving away aren’t the poor, but the middle class. So, it is likely that for the first time in history, the violent revolution and overthrow of the government will come from the middle class, not those classified as the underclass.
