Not necessary, all we have to do is vote in November to end the supply side economics that is killing the country.
Where do you suppose you will go when life becomes as horrible for the rich as it was under the tax rates of the 90's?
Who are you going to vote for in November that is going to 'end the supply side economics'? NONE of those running today have any intention in doing that.
Just for my edification can you explain how these two revolutions which overthrew MONARCHIES applies to this country?
Historically, hunger is a primary trigger for revolutions and uprisings.
Hungry people revolt, form of government is irrelevant.
That whole "forgetting the lessons of history" thing.
the guy who whines the most about the rich while getting millions from Goldman Sucks, Bain etc
OH, you mean the one that has had three years to ‘end the supply side’. But as Hay so eloquently stated ‘In each and every case they moved from a progressive position to caving in to the right.’ I guess Cat thinks something is gonna change in November...
the poor in the USA tend to be rather obese not starving. twinkies are their bane not hunger
Right.
But this thread took a comment about what happens when people get desperate and turned into "threats".
From what I read it was commentary from a historical perspective, not a threat.
And all those folks in the past who had their applecarts upset were pretty sure they had nothing to worry about too.

I would be positively surprised if the current motivation level in this country was high enough to stage a successful uprising. I mean really, it’s going to take more than camping out in city parks. Further the suggestion was to what the ‘rich’ should fear but based on the revolutions referenced the government should be in fear. I have read several ‘conspiracy theory’ type books that assert that the referenced revolutions in fact were instigated by the rich hence the phrase ‘useful idiots’.
most of the rich bashing comes from the rich on the left. they know they need votes to maintain their wealth so they pretend to support the interests of the poor when in reality they are gaining power for themselves
I'm guessing that Pretzel Logic is your favorite album?
Turtle, the left doesn't consist of conspiring rich political elitists wanting to stay in power. Most of the 'rich bashing', as you call it, comes from the entire left and not just the rich.most of the rich bashing comes from the rich on the left. they know they need votes to maintain their wealth so they pretend to support the interests of the poor when in reality they are gaining power for themselves
I think Peg was the best of the SD albums but my favorites include
Europe 72, Grateful Dead
London Calling, The Clash
Tonight's the Night Steeleye Span
LZ One
Dreams (ABB)

Can't knock your taste in music, but it doesn't answer the question as to how the rich on the left ... and apparently JUST on the left ... need votes (?) to maintain their wealth? And thus pretend to care about the poor? Fantastical.
Show me any other time in the last 30 years when we reduced our budget deficit as much as we did in the 90's when both sides came together to cut spending and increase taxes?
people that claim to eschew corporate wealth tend to crave government created wealth. Obama and Clinton are two examples of people who have made lots and lots of money from public office
...you do realize that the four years where the "budget was balanced" (thanks to taking money from Social Security) was after Clinton cut tax rates - specifically after he cut the capital gains tax, which is what this thread is about?
It's not the taxes. It's the spending.
Hmm, seems to me that Gingrich is worth more than both of them put together, thanks to his peddling his public office ass like a K Street crack whore. Both sides do it, but I think it's pretty obvious that Republicans are the biggest beneficiaries.
It's not the taxes, or the spending, or the economy. It's the taxes, the spending, AND the economy.
Its a society where too many people think government exists to give THEM what they want and paying for that is the DUTY of SOMEONE else
Until the tax system can change that attitude, we will never get rid of massive deficits.
the ONLY REASON WHY REVENUES increased was due to that massive bubble. that's why the orgasmic joy for tax hikes is idiotic

It shouldn't even matter. Politicians want to stay in power regardless of political orientation; developing some form of conspiracy that associates leftist ideology with greed shouldn't be relevant. And watching rich people saying that they themselves aren't paying enough isn't sinister; most rich people usually include themselves in their political judgements.the people who are heard tend to be the rich lefties-Obama, Buffett, Soros.
and nothing is more sinister machiavellian than watching rich dems whine about the rich
