Reply #9: nonsense. it's not for the masses at all [View All]

it's for the upper middle class and rich folks, so they can feel they have a license to act selfishly and, well, republicanly.

the middle class and lower look at their pocketbook and known damn well that the economy sucks. what the disinformation serves is to keep people from being sympathetic and therefore keep people from going democratic or objecting to corporate greed.

corporate greed is tolerable when the economy is ok, but not when people are suffering. so, cover up the fact that people are suffering and suddenly the corporations can once again get away with murder.

point is, there's no fooling the paycheck-to-paycheck or the paycheck-to-no paycheck. it's the folks who are not especially suffering that can be fooled.
