6 Step Process To Dispose Of The Poor Half Of America

http://www.alternet.org/economy/6-step-process-dispose-poor-half-america

The economic royalists plan to dispose of the poor:

1. Deplete their wealth
2. Strip away their income
3. Take away their homes
4. Hit them with fines, fees and fleecings
5. Criminalize them
6. Most insidious: let their children suffer

This is an organized war on the middle class, the working poor and the poor.

The middle class will become even more shredded (you of the middle class think it won't happen to you?)
The monied and power brokers rely on you thinking it won't happen to you only the "lower classes" Remember that famous saying by a former Nazi inmate in World War II? First they came for the Jews, etc
This nation has already came for the poor...you are next...keep on ignoring the godless morality that has taken over the USA

I'll just link it here. But the process is in action. It is specific and real. The poor are being criminalized through the way General Assistance welfare operates in Oakland, and Social Services tells people that the State is spending more money on Fraud Investigators than on welfare itself. Once they are herded into prison for just trying to survive under impossible circumstances, these people will become the State's slave labor.

Step by step process here:

This is so amazingly sick and inhumane. It is difficult for most decent people to understand or believe.

Can you link to your first post?

Using the police as their own private army - no judge, jury, or executioner needed - and for profit prisons as internment camps.
