Well, you could argue that we still have a 3 class society... On top we have the super-rich ruling class. Now this class posesses more wealth than the combined wealth of the bottom 90% of the population. Then we have the wealthy class -- the 9% between the super-rich and everyone else. Now this class also has more wealth than the bottom 90% of the population. Finally, we have the bottom 90% that includes you, me and most of your friends and acquaintances.
So the question I have for you DTB is... Why are you such a sock-puppet for the wealthy and super-rich classes when you're NOT one of them and you'll NEVER be one them? They couldn't care less whether you live or die, but they ask much of you.
First, they want your vote. They want you to vote for politicians who support their right to acquire and concentrate more and more wealth in the super-rich and wealthy classes. They also want your sons and daughters to go off to foreign lands to fight their wars while their sons and daughters pursue the finer things in life. This ensures many of their wealthy brethren will become even wealthier through the securing of oil, natural gas and mineral rights, as well as other natural recources. It also ensures their defense contractor brethren will continue to reap the financial windfalls of the wars your sons and daughters are fighting and dieing in. They also want you to pay your taxes, because many of those tax dollars pay for the bomb, bullets, rifles, bombers, ships, tanks, troop carriers, etc. that make their wars possible.
Enjoy the holiday tomorrow DTB and as you look around at your fellow Americans, remember... you're one of THEM. What you're NOT is a member of the class that's bought and payed for the politicians YOU vote for.
