Message to the Top 1%; If You Want to Keep Your Lives, Start Listening. Updated at 9:40 PM
Perhaps that sounds harsh. Maybe it should read; "If you want to keep living the lives you're accustomed to, start listening.", but since every outcome from one point to the other has historically resulted from not listening, we'll leave that one open to consideration.
It is not a threat at all. It's an historical observation. It's simply the outcome in every civilization where the elite dismiss the needs of the populace in favor of enhancing their own worth and power. Like the man at the top floor building a penthouse out of materials taken from the lobby, you are all blatantly fools. It must be nice to believe that little insults like that are meaningless. When behind a wall of money and influence, virtually any annoyance can be dismissed... especially from the 'little people'.
You ignore such warnings at your own dire peril. Right now, people like me are your best friends, but since we only offer less power and wealth, you see fit to ignore us. What we hold in our future is far more valuable, I would hope, than all your wealth, power, and dreams of dynasty combined.
Your LIVES.
Again, this is only a threat to the paranoid among you. What it means (again) is that you are putting your lifestyle, your livelyhood, your influence, and possibly even your longevity at grave risk in your pursuit of power.
And here's why;
Over many centuries and across many nations, the wealthy and powerful have put themselves into positions to balance their own requirements against the needs of the less privileged. In every case, every... single... one..., when they sought to advance their own wealth and influence at the expense of the working class, the wealthy that failed to escape before the tipping point were eaten. Not literally, of course (as far as we know), but they wound up falling under a tide of angry, vicious, resentful (and hungry) hordes. Sometimes it was due to that same internal strife that outside invasions became successful. Sometimes it was outright revolution whether earnest or the result of canny opportunists harnessing the discontent. In at least one case, it was pure overconfidence coupled with psychotic dissonance that did a nation in.
In each and every case, without exception, the ruling class, that 'elite' 1%, thought they had the ace in the hole;
"Control"
Wanna hear a joke?
You think so to. All of you. Even the ones who know that they will be low man on the totem pole under the control of the higher hierarchs. Guess what?
You're wrong... dead wrong.
Right now, you live in your gated mansions and fly off to wherever you want to. You get the best of everything you want and never worry about from whence it comes. At all. Perhaps you believe that the minions of morons that have been conditioned to despise the liberals and intellectuals who are trying so desperately to warn everyone about the direction we're headed in will somehow 'take care' of the problem of retribution for you. The watch Fox News, after all, so they are your loyal dogs... right? Well even if this fascist fantasy comes to pass and all the liberals who sought to purge your pipe-dream of feudal empire are flung into concentration, err... happy work camps, you'll still have a major problem... the leftover wingnuts who are also starting to starve despite your promise of eternal happiness for enactment of mindless hatred. Where will they turn?
Where will those who are left in an anemic economy turn to 'put food on their families'? On each-other! Or... so you hoped in your short-sighted simulations of paradise-at-last. Unfortunately, no one will have anything much to take... except you.
You will learn the meanings of 'supply-line vulnerabilities' and 'untenable support logistics' as you too slowly starve in your fortresses and floaty-islands. Once and for all, you will watch as the lives you used to have, by the grace of a functioning and prosperous democracy, are torn away. No more travel or plane-rides, no more vacations, no more decadent parties, just a slow descent into the poverty you eagerly shoveled the 'little people' right off into.
But I know... a few of you will really wind up in the power elite. Wanna hear another joke?
You ALL believe you will. Just like the millions who play the lottery in the belief that it will be their salvation, you believe that you will be among the chosen few to ascend the last remaining ladder of power.
You can listen now and maybe help your less privileged but still fellow Americans out of the hole, or you can bet your lives that you'll win the power game too many of you think you're in on.
Good luck with that.

2. How many people here make more than $250,000.00 a year...
Which is that fabled 1%, give or take, as of 2006.
Just wondering.

4. That's a point. I mean no blanket accusations, but most making over 250k really don't get it. Updated at 9:40 PM
Anyone here making that is likely already in the choir.
I tell you what when the DUmmies making over 250k donate it all to the Govt then I will believe they are serious about sharing the wealth.
It kills me when rich people bitch they aren't taxed enough, yet they take deductions and don't fork over extra money to the Treasury.

Whenever you feel froggy, DUmbshits, by all means start with me. I'm just an empty beer can's throw from the east end of the University of Northern Colorado campus whenever you feel like forcing your life expectations on me, bitches.
Bring it, don't sing it.

If the DUmbwits would put the same amount of effort into making a living that they do bitching, complaining, and pontificating they would be in that 1%.
-
My dogs would like for you to TRY to come over.
And no, we don't pull in mega millions like your manchild Zer0 does. :bird:
Damn assholes-shit like this makes me want to go out and buy a ****ing gun, just because. BUT I have a hair trigger temper as is.

If your dogs are as good as it sounds like they are, ma'am, I'd imagine any DUmbshit that is caught in their yard will WISH you had that gun.

Rich people

Now there's a poem that would make CalPeggy proud! :naughty:

My dogs are like little lambs for those who come in peace, D6. Everyone else will tremble, guaranteed. :-)
The FEDEX guy knows to just go around to the garage door when he shows up so as to not set the hounds abayin' after him, and this is a guy bringing me either my wine club stuff or my amazon books. :lmao:

In other words, Skinner has made some cold hard cash suckers, and he doesn't like to hear trash talk from the cheap seats.

I don't usually make a habit of responding to the curbside rantings of the piss-soaked, unemployed, under-achieving set, so I"ll leave this petulant little turd with this one little notion...
The secret to success in life, my young libtard douche-y friend, is to pick fights you are certain you can win. Meaning, a willingness to step outside of the flatulent bubble you've been living in ever since your parents kicked you out for getting caught letting the football team bukake your sorry ass, and truly taking a good, hard look at your opponent's strengths.
Apparently, you've failed to do that in this instance, choosing yet again to believe in that thick, gooey substance dribbling down your chin, rather then the fact that you're being led by people who've depended upon YOURS TRULY for their next meal. Get used to being fed on your knees, because that's more than likely gong to be the way you obtain your nutrition in your old age.
Your really only a small matter of moments away from having your worst fears come true. Tell me, how does that feel???

Where is this keyboard warrior? I'm sure I can scrape up enough for a one way ticket to come out here and face those of us who think we pay enough ****in' taxes to support his worthless ass!
I say one way, as I doubt he will have to worry about the return trip! If these little pukes ever ventured outside their liberal strongholds, they would get such a rude awakening, they could dig up their ancestors, and find their asses kicked up between their shoulders, too!

A fine poem, Big Dog!
Why, thank you ma'am!
I'll be doing a reading with CalPeggy down at the Cankered Ear Coffeehouse Saturday night. Get there early to get a good table!

Go ahead and buy the return flight, but alert the airline that he'll be returning as CARGO. :dozer:
