Why is anyone still asking the rich to "have a heart"?

[Zalatix]

There are a lot of people complaining about Republicans and the super rich, particularly asking why they don't care about the poor.

This, in my opinion, is a question that totally does not address the real problem with the Conservative ideology. The real problem was made clear by none other than Herman "If you're poor, it's your fault!" Cain.

The rich see the working class as a necessary evil - a decreasingly necessary one, at that. They look at the poor as something to be gotten rid of. This is not about re-establishing a feudal society, it's about culling the herd.

Ask yourself a question: if you wanted to starve a populace into extinction and do it slowly so they won't all rebel against you and overthrow you, how would you do it? Compare that to what the Republicans and the Plutocracy are doing.

What they're doing is in direct and shameless contradiction to everything that "Conservatism" stands for. Impoverishing millions of your potential customers, shipping jobs out of the country, attempting to starve them with food stamp cuts, cutting off their basic utilities (see: the sewage service bankruptcies in Alabama), all the while saying that all of this is for the good of the people?

Economic reforms? Horse pucky. This is all part of a classic extermination campaign. The rich think this is their world and you're polluting it.

They're keeping this war afloat by keeping whites pitted against blacks, old against young, etc., for one simple reason: "I can pay half the working class to kill the other half." - Jay Gould

The Nazis, in their mind, did it all wrong. Instead of cattle cars and gas chambers, this war is being waged by means of deprivation. Budget cuts. Mass exodus of jobs out of the country. Screwflation that affects the poor and not the rich. And if the poor rise up, they're counting on the Tea Party to be that "other half".


Stop asking why they don't care. Start asking how you're going to stop this slow extermination-by-deprivation of the poor and working class. We're like baby rhinos asking the pack of lions why they're so mean.

1. I think the first thing i would love to see our President to do is kick start the full employment

law to stop this austerity train ride....

4. Obama's hands are tied

The Plutocracy is trying to starve the working class, their obstruction of Obama's jobs plan is just part of it.

This is NOT about insensitivity. People need to stop seeing this as the rich not caring. This is about a slow mass culling, seriously.

3. Start asking how you're going to stop this slow extermination-by-deprivation of the poor and working

You might not like the answer.

5. I don't think the answer is legal to speak of in the US.

However said answer has been carried out with limited success in the Middle East, a few times.

6. It's impossible to join the ranks of the ultra-rich without being a sociopath

because somewhere along the line a healthy mind would say: "You know what, I have everything I could possibly want, I don't need to make any more money - now that I am free of material barriers I am going to spend the rest of my life in some more fulfilling way."

7. Not so sure about that

One can become pretty rich simply by running a good business that thrives on lots of middle class customers.

Pay people more so they can buy more stuff... it's what Henry Ford did, although he had his ulterior (read: anti-Union) motives. However, one can say that in improving his pay, he did exactly what the unions wanted. It is possible to become a billionaire by behaving symbiotically. It's just that the Plutocracy - the Kochs, Rothschilds and the like (to name names), don't want that. They shaped this economy in order to cull the herd.

Have you seen the Georgia Guidestones? It's a monument right out in the open in Elbert County, Georgia. It's right there for everyone in the world to come visit and look. The FIRST item on the Guidestone that you will read is "Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature". It's right there in plain English (and 7 other languages). It was created back in 1980.

That's what the Plutocracy wants - 7 billion humans reduced to 500 million. It's painfully obvious in everything that the Conservative movement does, that this is what they want. And yeah they play to the Pro-Life movement - but what happens to those babies as soon as they're born, in Conservative America?

Sadly this'll be filed off as conspiracy talk, even as the next step - starvation - hits America - and people keep posting, "Why don't the rich care???"

It's not that they don't care. It's that they want to starve you out of existence and not spark a revolution in the process like what happened in the Middle East.

8. Ever been to one of those lavish breast cancer "benefits?"

All I could do was wonder how much money was diverted from finding a cure for breast cancer to throw this gargantuan bash for the super-elite. I was working there.

Breast cancer will not be cured. AIDS will not be cured. Shit, herpes will not be cured.

If it were possible to wipe the work of Jonas Salk from existence, we'd have polio again.

You are correct, Z. It's not that they don't care; they DO care about crowd-controlling this planet.

It's just too horrible a reality for most people to even consider.
