"Perhaps some very few of the more literate of them are starting to go to sleep at night with visions of torchlight and pitchforks and guillotines dancing in their heads."
Don't all revolutions start with the so-called middle class?
With the weights of educating their young, overtaxation, paying for health care and planning for retirement almost laughable. The stage is set for problems to develop. Just look at that fella out there in Vermont. The "G" is going to have to be careful...remember Ruby Ridge and Waco?
The rich are always worried about envy and how to deflect it. Many try to present the persona of the "good" rich, hence the limousine liberal. It's a strategy intended to head off envy so they can keep their wealth.
The poor in this country have cell phones, cars, big screen TVs, cable, computers, internet, and better health care than any multimillionaire had just 25 years ago. Most are fat. If that isn't enough for them they have the opportunity to move to a better town and work for a better life.
Envy is the driving force of America's enemies, both foreign and domestic. We need to start confronting this leftist threat for what it really is: an evil force out to destroy not just the rich for sport, but America itself.
