Comments on: Income Inequality Hits Post-WWII Record

The Skinny: Richest 1 Percent Of Americans Taking Home Almost A Quarter Of The Pie

[motherjones-2009]

Income inequality is at post WWII levels? What do you expect when the repukes have been running the show for so long. They look out for their base: "The haves and have-mores" to quote the chimp-in-chief, and the rest of us can eat dog food.

Have you all seen/heard that homebuilders and developers are auctioning off their product? Did you also know that part of that process includes auctioning (seelling) the community services (police, fire, utilities, etc.) that go with that property sale? this means that the people who work for theses Municipality Services are being auctioned off also, just like the pre-civil war days, when slavery ran rampant in the southern U.S! For tose of you who believe, like I do, that selling people is illegal in our Nation, then those municipality services are not being auctioned off with the properties, meaning that these services become non-existant at those property locations, which means that the sellers are also selling private services for these homes, and I haven''t seen these required by law services included with any of the auction packages presented, that I have researched! As the Municipalities are only liable for services to areas of their Community that meet the local laws, if an arson targets these auctioned off homes, and the fire department has a conflicting schedule, do they respond to the arson?

good article she wrote. its generation y though.
reasoning why, not just doing and dying. why
riot? you''ll just be killed, disappear and never
be heard from or seen again, like in the 1960''s.
you get more flies with honey. better strategy for
generation y, and coming soon generation z, then
back to a. the causes of the bolshevik revolution
are similar to conditions today. dissatisfaction
with ''the System'' and starving peasants, food ripped
off for the nobility, unpopular world war one,
wage price disparity etc. the 90th anniversary
of the bolshevik revolution is upon us. today
is columbus day. the causes of columbus''s voyage
were mostly religious. a way out for those who
hated the spanish inquisition and did not want
to be catholic or have to hide their faith. political
and religious asylum was given by queen isabella
in spain, if they wished to be brave enuff to
travel to the new world. the hopes of millons
around the world, rested upon the shoulders of
the nina, pinta and santa maria and their crew and
captain, cristobal colombo. thanks sir. we don''t
have to bow if we don''t want to. we''ll bow our
own way thank you. off the starboard bow? an island!
and they realized the tales of atlantis were true.
beyond the pillars of hercules.

yankee stay home. yaqui indians taking over through
indian casinos anyway. the yankees chickens have
come home to roost, just like the british empire''s
did, and all empires before them. the russian
empire is expanding. how about their secret moon
base, we never hear of. and their base on mars?
they have blackouts on their achievements. while
we watch baseball they are further in the stars.
but what''s important to yankees are e.r.a.''s.
not the equal rights amendment, but earned run
averages. have some yankee pot roast. roasting
yankees is fun. the yankees destroyed the agricultural south. getting hungry blue bellies?
not that long of a growing season up north is it?
isn''t that too bad!! we''re singing dixie.
you''re playing pixie with trixie. how sad, sniffles.
our hearts bleed for you.

Is it suprising? Everytime an issue the opposition is branded traitorous because it is a time of war. What is funny is this is an occupation not a war. What sacrifices have been made collectively to sustain this "War"? Are we selling war bonds? Are we tapping industries to eliminate war profiteering? Have the oil companies who are profitting beyond belief made any concession since it is they who ultimately benefit from this conflict? Is it suprising that these multinationals are not bargaining for America''s good? Walmarts, Halliburton,Blackwater,GE, boeing, these are the real traitors. They make the militaryindustrialcomplex. and they are the patrons of this administration. the next time you shop at walmart remember the american job you just eliminated.
