We are egged on, manipulated to label and hate our opponents if they hold a different opinion. Not only are they wrong, they are EVIL. As long as we are in a tizzy fighting, perpetuating this fiasco, they have us where they want us. We are divided and we fall. Meanwhile, the people pulling our strings are laughing all the way to the bank. That would be the corporations and wealthy in this country. They are on the second phase of this successful campaign. Now they are focusing on the poor. Anyone who needs financial assistance. These people are being labeled as some kind of pariah that should be hated and despised. Assistance is labeled as "entitlements". If they can persuade us to to ACCEPT adopting a caste system where the poor become the dirty, unclean, scum of society, the easier it is cutoff financial assistance. They can't do that until we have been brainwashed enough to believe it.
