Tensions between the rich and poor are increasing and at their most intense level in nearly a quarter-century

Geee.... Now why do you think that is?

Conflict between rich, poor strongest in 24 years

So, when is the civil war?

My poor ass loves rich folks.

I wish government would get out of the way so America could create more rich folks.

Tensions between the rich and poor are increasing and at their most intense level in nearly a quarter-century, a new survey shows.

And the largest sales ever of tools of self defense that go bang in 2011.

I know what it is....

0bama and the wookie are working their "tails" off making things absolutely heavenly in the good ol' USA, BUT with all the damage done by Bush and Cheney in eight years it's going to take more time to make it better again.

Am I ready for the DNC yet?

Funny....I recently had lunch with a buddy of mine who works for Worksource and across his office is the welfare office which gives pays FOR YOUR ELECTRICITY as long as you show you are below the poverty level.

99% of the people line up were blacks who were yakking on their Iphones, SEIU shirts and brand new sneakers...

So kindly explain what is the definition of “poor” in this country again?

Heh, love the pic. And I agree - Obama has been causing an awful lot of this, or at least egging it on with his rhetoric.

True economic justice has nothing to do with taking from the rich (of which I most assuredly am not) to dole out to the non-rich (that would be me). The world doesn’t owe me a gosh darn thing. True economic justice is simply me having the same opportunity as everyone else to succeed or fail on my own merits and hard work, without the powers that be sticking their noses into it and playing favorites in the name of “fairness.”

Conflict between rich and poor strongest most artificially ginned-up for blatant political reasons in 24 years

There. Fixed it.

My friend just got a job as a ‘Jobs coach’. She helps unemployed folks prepare to search for a job.
By her account, we’re screwed.

The more the government takes the more everyone else fights over what remains... and the more the media cries for the government to take more.

I hate our disgusting media.

I haven’t been the type to do creative writing but will give it a try.

“The mobile home park was empty, as all of the residents were at the commissioners’ meeting to stop Joe Sixpack from building his barn on the cottontail migration route.”

No. That somehow doesn’t work. Let me try again.

“The homeless man was the politician’s most prized and influential constituent.”

Well, that doesn’t work either. I give up.

I guess Hope Yen (AP White House/DNC stenographer) will place the blame on the OWS crowd and Uh-Bama...riiiiight....

How about killing jobs and rewarding useless bureaucrats?

The Left never, ever understands economics...
