Reply #8: That's true, and if you take Bushco policies & plans [View All]

to their logical conclusion, this country will consist of no middle class - just the Robber Barons & the poor.

And that's true - some of the rich ARE on our side - the ones with consciences.

I knew I was generalizing when I originally posted my thoughts, and I didn't think I had time to clarify some of what I was saying. Thanks for pinpointing the real problem.

It's just sad and shocking that so many people either can't see that we're living in "The Gilded Age, Part II," or maybe they don't know their history, or maybe they've deluded themselves into thinking they're going to be a part of "the robber baron class" themselves someday.

The"Robber Baron" label doesn't seem to convey the full demonic nature of this group, and neither does "War Criminals." "Thugs" and "liars" belong in there too, but I guess words cannot really describe how corrupt and selfish (and sociopathic) they are.

(Edited to say thanks, fellow DUers, for letting me ramble tonight!)
