The ant and the grasshopper tale again.( Aesop's Fables)

Hard days are here and the grasshoppers have nothing to eat.

You must give them your stuff.

Well, if by “Corporate America”, he really means Ted Kennedy or another member of the Kennedy clan, or Dominique Strauss-Kahn, I might agree.

Well the Left has ratcheted up the hate for Corporations, the wealthy, and privileged whites to the point that just about anything could be condoned against them.

That was the goal. Mission accomplished.

We live in very dangerous times.

We do so, not because of an enemy outside our borders, but from an enemy within.

If accumulated wealth is the measure of "not being suppressed" I know at least a half dozen irresponsible losers over my working life who made between 50 and 100K, and lost it all for the same reason most of these Amish do : they spent it as fast as the got it, got over their heads with credit, and thought savings is for losers.

The entitlement mentality demands that they be rescued for their stupidity. That's got to cease. When an entire subculture has the affliction, it must be not be "society holding them down."

Mainstream media’s habitual abundance of inflammatory and absurd rhetoric.

You have to thank a lack of preparation by those looking for work as the largest cause of unemployment.

Of course this “wealth” study conveniently left Asian minorities out of the equation. I'll bet Asian families, on average, have a very close or higher net worth than whites.

But that wouldn't sit well with the race pimps or generate Rat votes. Both from from dark people hating whitey and also from whitey feeling guilty.

MSNBC contributor Goldie Taylor just made a very questionable word choice.

When Martin Bashir asked her about the recession’s “catastrophic” effect on minorities, this was her answer:

“Catastrophic is right, you know. If you look at african-american and hispanic households, fully a third of them report zero wealth. Not even a dollar in positive wealth. A lot of that wealth was tied up in the homes that they spent more than 75% of their income either buying or maintaining, and so when those homes were taken away, the wealth went with it.

“If you put on top of that affordable health care and access to health insurance, then, you know, most of the bankruptcies in this country, especially from black and brown people, are driven because of health care costs, and so when you ask yourself what has happened to black and brown Americans, I can tell you what happened to them.

“Corporate America happened to them. People who are, you know, literally raping these people over medical costs, exorbitant medical costs and then to turn around and swipe the homes that they worked their lives to build, you know, over some subprime lending issues. So I think that we ought to re-examine our priorities as a country and re-examine how to go forward. I don’t think that’s the america we’re banking on, the America we all believe in.”
