Enough with the 1% cr@p, please. NYC needs to change its gun laws, not redistribute wealth.
1 percent is reality. America does have a royalty class similar to Europe. I know it is hard to give up idealistic myths that the US is somehow different from the rest of the human race. If you were drunk and high on drugs and crashed into the Capital Building barriers 3:00 AM in the morning what do you think the Capital Police will do to you. Try dragged out of the car at gunpoint, boot on face and arms pulled till it hurts and handcuffs tightly put on. Move and they will kill you. Now if you are a Congressman, the police supervisor tells his men to stand down and you get a ride home.
Try running a business and state auditors find that you may have taken money out of customer accounts. You will have an instant appointment at the regulators office. If your answers are unsatisfactory, a SWAT will hit your home and business office. Computers, files and etc will be taken and a criminal referral is sent to the DA. Now if you are Corzine, nothing happens even weeks after regulators find 1.2 billion missing from customer accounts!!!!!!
Try running for office as a popular third party candidate. Every petition must be properly formatted, every deadline, every election reg must be met or else. In NJ a Dem candidate suddenly is unpopular and may lose to a GOP opposition, Problem is the Dems passed the deadline to change name on ballot with a more popular person. Judge decides in order to provide real choices for voters in the fall, he allows the name change despite rules say otherwise.
Gee, no ruling elites, no 1 percent protected class in America!!! Don’t be blind.
The poster was correct, why deny it? No one here is advocating redistributing wealth. The elite privileged class of the financial district calls the shots in NYC, always has been, probably always will be.
