Throughout history human beings suffering oppression and persecution eventually come to the conclusion that their circumstances are so dire they have nothing to lose by rising up and fighting back against their oppressors. In many cases, people fight their oppressors because of persecution, abuse, and loss of freedoms, or in the case of the French Revolution, because the rich and powerful took resources from the people leaving them with little option but stage a revolution or starve to death. In America, one group is beginning to fight back because claim they are weary of attacks by the Obama Administration as well as abuse and persecution by a group they claim are driven by unrestrained greed.
Apparently, although Wall Street, corporate America, big oil, and the richest 1% of income earners have suffered patiently and in silence through decades of abuse and attacks, the tipping point that incited their decision to fight back against their abusers was President Obamas vicious assault during the State of the Union speech where he uttered the fighting words income inequality. The President said, After four years of economic growth, corporate profits and stock prices have rarely been higher, and those at the top have never done better. But average wages have barely budged. Inequality has deepened. Upward mobility has stalled.
There is a subset of terms to the dreaded income inequality that contributed to the richest Americans decision to fight back against a tepid populist movement drowning in poverty, and it is likely they were just as put-upon by hearing minimum wage increase, unemployment benefit extension, preserve Social Security, save public worker pensions, food stamps, Medicare and Medicaid, and overtime pay. Economists, financial advisers to the wealthy, corporations, and the wealthy themselves report feeling severe anxiety that the American peoples mood is turning against the super-rich they feel makes the public hard to control.
To be fair to the beleaguered wealthy elite, after heavily contributing to the cause of the Great Recession, they only reaped 95% of recovery and likely feel abused that 99% of Americans shared the remaining 5 percent. Coupled with the Popes warnings about income inequality that led Home Depots co-founder to warn the Pope to shut his Holy Mouth, it is addressing the causes of income disparity that drove the plutocrats into a panic that began slowly building during the Occupy movement. Another billionaire compared the Occupy movements protest against income inequality to the Nazi Kristallnacht attacks on Jews in 1938 leading him to warn his wealthy elite class of a possible genocide against the wealthy because when you start to use hatred against a minority, it can get out of control.
