CLASS WARFARE — TUSCON SHOPPING MALL MASSACRE
Middle-class whites — Laboring class browns
Educated whites — Uneducated browns
Having grown up in the slums of Milwaukee, Minneapolis and LA, having been a home builder of middle-class homes and received more then my share of easy money in the glory years of the 70’s and 80’s, a clear impression did I have that the more wealth one had — all the more did they feel deserving of wealth.
Likewise, the less money one had — all the less did they feel deserving of wealth. So, my theory is that everyone feels they deserve just a little more wealth then what they now have. And so, comes now this axiom of human nature.
GREED
Greed is any desire for wealth,
as it greatly increases the more
you gain wealth.
For if you look at corporate media, what with all of news media, publishing and entertainment industries owned by High Society, we see a major emphases being to convince the public that the rich are the most giving, caring and generous in all of society.
Republicans — Terrorize — Democrats
Jared Lee Loughner, a Republican with a semi-fascist character, shot dead six Democrats age 9 to 76, Including a Democrat federal judge, and attempted to assassinate eight other Democrats including a Congresswoman who is now on the verge of death.
Classic conservative politics of the Republican ultra-right, and if Jared had done no harm, most everyone would freely concede that he is just another ultra-right republican, and a harbinger of things to come.
