You know that in South and Central America, business people know, and certainly ceo's know

that they're bound to feel the wrath of the downtrodden at any moment. They will come for you and they will come for your family members. They will kidnap you or your family and hold them for ransom. Or they will just kill you outright. That's why the smart ones live in gated communities and have body guards at all times.

I'm not saying that it's the sort of thing that should happen here. What I am wondering is, why it hasn't happened here yet. Where is the tipping point? What if someone loses every thing to these guys and has nothing else to lose. What if they have a terminal illness and have nothing to lose. Is there a point where the public finally turns on these guys?

2. And thus the infiltration of right-wing hate radio serving a purpose...

To distract from the corporate greed/welfare that has taken hold over the last few decades, much of the population has been focused on low-income, minority "welfare queens" as the focus of their anger.

I have been singing this song for years, and hope people are FINALLY waking up to the reality of the corporate/fascist control of our government -- NOT "liberal entitlements" -- but as long as the Limbaugh's and Fox News et al have such a strong presence, they will continue to divert attention, and responsibility, from their corporate owners.

3. I think because they the downtrodden Americans don't really

know who "They - the Corporate Crooks" are!

Americans are a stoic people and many if not most will survive. We all need to be vigilant because many times innocent people will get caught in the turmoil.

Watch your friends, family and neighbors and try to help them the best that you can.
