If things really crash hard,
people are going to be looking for someone to blame.
The elites and the media will try to push “the rich” meme,
and by “the rich”, they’ll imply “anyone that has anything more than you do”.
However, I can see some prepared folks, more toward the “rambo” types, hunting down those truly responsible and decorating some lampposts with them.
I've noticed a definite trend in reporting on the Facebook IPO --
NPR today covered "who is getting rich" and discussed some guy who was lucky enough to be a college roommate of someone else, or a guy who was lucky enough to be hired to spray-paint murals at Facebook HQ a few years ago. They had a list of "lucky" people who got paid in stock and who are now worth tens of millions of dollars.
Do you see? All the rich people in society are just lucky. It's not fair. I could be worth a billion dollars, you know, but the money didn't fall into my lap -- it fell into someone else's lap.
The media wants voters to be angry at the unfairness of our society. People like Romney? Like Trump? Why are they so special????
I've heard that coveting is wrong, but I don't think the media agrees.
