Economic Inequality

[denuseri]

One would think the plutocrats would know their history a little better so they don't repeat it but then personally I don't think they are capable of breaking the cycle since its apparently part of human physiology to become an ass hat when you acquire too much wealth and power.

Push the fickle mob hard enough and it will turn on you.

As for the blue collar gun lobby supporting republicans, or the socialist liberal leftest occupy wall street-er....supporting the plutocracy...lol...you will more likely find; if history is any guide, that when push comes to shove they will be on the same side in the end against the "haves" and then soon replace them (often times with something worse).

Nature's way of redistributing wealth, going strong now pretty much since the first primitive monkey man picked up a bone or stick or whatever and beat the lead monkey off the banana stack.

I call it as I see it happening. The NRA showed which side they were on when they supplied the rent-a-mob that stopped the recount in Florida. The Tea Party and their ilk talk a good fight, but what they mean by "freedom" is no taxes, no government regulation of business, and no limits on the power of property owners and employers: which is exactly what the plutocracy have been working towards for a quarter of a century. Like well brought up serfs, they'll take up arms to defend the system that rules them.

And if you're talking about monkeys, any textbook will tell you that they don't gang up on the alpha: the ones lower down the tree kick around the ones below them, or if they're feeling tough and ambitious, they take on the one just above. Which is exactly what the bosses want us to go on doing. Things only change when we stop acting like monkey men and start thinking.
