19. "I don't think they can do it much longer" - look deeper.
YOU (and Thom Hartmann) ARE RIGHT.

Their deceptions will NOT last forever. There's only so long that you can sell our pick-up drivin', shot-gun totein', truck drivin' solid middle class Red Stater that he has much in common with the RICH.

What this boils down to is a LAND GRAB, only with short term wind-falls (like eliminations of the dividend tax).

There ARE other dangers such as all of the Intellectual Property laws that have & are being passed, all but eliminating a "public domain", but that's another story and unfortunately, all too complicated for those people that still can't figure out multiple tax rates and want it more "simple" so that the poor pay a higher rate and the rich pay much less, but "simple" is "fair".

Think of it like the S&L Bailout of the 90's - $500 billion. Who picked up the tab?

FORTUNATELY, we have TRUTH & REALITY on our side!

Now if only the DNC can get out of the pocket of big business, stop nominating the super-rich to represent us, we can start to restore our credibility...
