Tax the Super Rich now or face a revolution

Yes, tax the Super Rich. Tax them now. Before the other 99% rise up, trigger a new American Revolution, a meltdown and the Great Depression 2.

We know the Super Rich don’t care. Not about you. Nor the American public. They can’t see. Can’t hear. Stay trapped in their Forbes-400 bubble. An echo chamber that isolates them. They see the public as faceless workers, customers, taxpayers. See GOP power on the ascent. Reaganomics is back. Unions on the run. Clueless masses are easily manipulated.

Even Obama is secretly working with the GOP, will never touch his Super Rich donors. Yes, the Super-Rich Delusion is that powerful, infecting all America.

Here’s how one savvy insider who knows described this Super-Rich Delusion: “The top 1% live privileged lives, aren’t worried about much. Families vacation at the best resorts. Their big concerns are finding the best Pilates teacher, best masseuse, best surgeons, best private schools. They aren’t concerned with the underlying deterioration of America or the world, except in the abstract, because they aren’t directly affected by it. That’s not to say they aren’t sympathetic, aware, or don’t talk about the issues you bring up. They are largely concerned with protecting and enhancing their socio-economic positions, ensuring their families live well. And nothing you write about will change things.”

Her mom promised to shave her own head when Emberlie lost her hair. And I promised to make matching hats if that should happen!

[fanfan]

It sounds like Emberlie is doing well. That's great Face!

Glad to hear that your Son and wife are safe.

Daffodils are blooming here!

[fanfan]

You have such a beautiful family!

Thanks for the ping. :-)

[Monkey Face]

You ROCK, Fan!

[Tax-chick]

Thank YOU! The others were around somewhere and missed being photographed.

Ah, the catz are here, ready for me to fill their bowl. What would we do without pets to keep us in line?

[abigailsmybaby]

Great idea! You all are in my prayers.

[Monkey Face]

Thanks!! Prayers are the best medicine!

"What would we do without pets to keep us in line?"

Undoubtedly, we would wander about less attentive to our foot placement.

This training can be critical to avoiding injury.

[fanfan]

You ROCK, Fan!

Nah, Vegetable seems so much more suitable. ;-)

What would we do without pets to keep us in line?

We could stop running after a dog who thinks the road in front of our house belongs to him alone; no joggers allowed. ;-)

How's Ash?

So, you don’t have teenagers any more, OR, yours pickup after themselves?

[NicknamedBob]

"So, you don’t have teenagers any more, OR, yours pickup after themselves?"

My former teenagers do not pick up after themselves.

However, they also do not associate with the parental living space. My current task is fleet maintenance.

My heart breaks.... prayers up!

[Tax-chick]

Good morning, all. Although the worst of the southeast’s bad weather is conveniently missing the greater Charlotte area, as is still unhappy. She doesn’t like thunder, doesn’t like rain, doesn’t like puddles, and doesn’t like piles of topsoil that are wet, instead of pleasantly warm and smelly.

kittytree...

[Tax-chick]

Obviously they gave it plenty of fertilizer.

[Monkey Face]

And don’t forget the massages...
