we need a revolution yall
Yep, I tried telling people this but they try look at me like I'm stupid. The inequality is ridiculous.
Imo for things to be fair, or at a somewhat even playing field, I think minimum wage should be at like $15-18 an hour and median income should be like $25-30 an hour, btw I know this violates the concept of a free market lassie faire, but f*ck it, the markets in America aren't necessarily unregulated.
I'm just saying the inequality is that bad. $20 an hour really isn't sh*t in the grand scheme of things....

yeah bu, buh but they top 1% will trickle that down to us if only we didn't tax them so much.
Yes, the survey was for perceptions part, not for the reality, which is straight fact. The survey was done according to some pretty high standards, too, so this is much more representative than the average Gallup poll.

People will not revolt, they will die defending the status quo and the 1%. This should be on CNN every hour on the hour. Let these fools know they are fighting over crumbs.
I have no problem with the rich making money. The reason they have so much money is because they are not paying anyone. Wage increase has been a joke the last 20 years, compared to the 60s and 70s.
the worst part is they could up everybody's pay and still be rich.

Fukk your corny debates
Eh, all we have to do is cut the top marginal rate to about 20-25%, eliminate capital gains tax, the estate tax, and the alternative minimum tax, eliminate Medicaid, privatize social security, privatize Medicare, and loosen regulations on business and everything will be fine.
yes, we need a revolution. But this is stating the obvious,what we need now is a plan. Making that plan without getting charged with treason is the difficult part but if we unite and join together I'm more than sure it will happen and we will be successful at carrying it out.

it will just turn into citizens vs citizens because, from the look of poll numbers, more americans support this lifestyle than who oppose it. Too many are blind to what is plainly happening.
You got millions of ardent conservatives that hate obama's guts even though he has made positive progress, and wish to replace him with an option that as far far worse than another year of obama.
but we do need a revolution though, only problem is getting enough people to participate. People see OWS and think they're complaining over insignificant things and se no reason why anyone would want to protest against wall street/ washington .and you see how the police bossed up to the military equipment and shut folks down.
This is how the illusion of capitalism works.
Wolves by Omali Yeshiitela off dead prez's Lets Get Free.
I'm not a hunter but i am told that, in places like in the arctic, where indiginous people sometimes might, might, hunt a wolf.
They'll take a double edged blade, and they'll put blood on the blade, and they'll melt the ice and stick the handle in the ice, so that only the blade is protruding.
And that a wolf will smell the blood and wants to eat, and it will come and lick the blade trying to eat, and what happens is when the wolf licks the blade, of course, he cuts his tongue, and he bleeds.
And he thinks he's really having a good thing, and he drinks and he licks and he licks, and of course he is drinking his own blood and he kills himself.
Thats what the Imperialists did with us with crack cocaine.
You have these young brothers out there who think they are getting something they gonna make a living with, they is getting something they can buy a car.
Like the white people have cars, why can't i have a car?
They getting something they can get a piece of gold.
White people have gold, why can't i have gold?
They getting something to get a house.
White people have a house, why can't i have a house?
And they actually think that theres something thats bringing resources to them,but they're killing themsleves just like the wolf was licking the blade, and they're slowly dying without knowing it.

if we want economic equality we have to take it, it will not be given to us by this current class of ruling elites.
and we shouldnt resort to violence (yet) because we rant and rave about gats, naga they made them gats, they got some shyt that'll blow out our back, from where THEY stay at.
plus physical violence is really a final option. no one really wants to live that life of a physical confrontation with the govt.
we need to use the same economic principles and economic laws to get rich that the super elite do. we need to use the same economic principles that successful communities use.
the only difference between them and us is they know the rules of the game and they been playing a lot longer.
and eventually we'll have to confront the poor economic policies at the macro levels of govt, but we need to develop some kind of leverage first whether that be economic power or people power.
