I turned on FOX news this morning

[CTLawGuy]

and saw two phrases on the bottom of the screen..

"Middle Class is shrinking, and that's a GOOD thing!"

and then

"forgive corporate criminals to fix Wall Street."

Then I remembered why I don't watch Fox news.

1. I hope tuning into FOX was an accident!

I haven't tuned into that chanel for years now. I don't like punishing myself!

2. disgusting

they are pure shit and their fans are people who like being lied to

[Changenow]

3. Fox thinks increasing numbers of poor

is a good thing if it also means a corresponding growth of rich people at the rate of about 50,000:1. The newly poor are Faux's largest market share, and all they'll hear is that there are now more billionaires than ever. Fools.

4. I saw the broadcast..

...but I thought it said "Middle Class shrinking...good or bad?" or something of that nature. Once they started shouting at each other, I changed the channel.

7. maybe

but when I turned it on, it just said "middle class shrinking and its a good thing" Usually if that's just one side's opinion, they'd say so. Ie "Buchanan: Middle class shrinking is a good thing".

[skooooo]

9. What twisted logic did they use..

...to say it was a "good" thing. If you listened long enough..just curious.

[CTLawGuy]

11. I did not listen long enough

I tend to ignore them...

12. Evidently they WANT an all-out class war.

But history says they'll lose. French Revolution, anyone? Let them eat cake?

13. That's because Fox hasn't read Aristotle

http://www.iep.utm.edu/a/aris-pol.htm#The Importance of the Middle Class

Basically a good functioning society needs a very strong and very large middle class. Weakening the middle class will cause the downfall of the civilisation.

But this is an old Greek guy who lived 2300 years ago, so it can't still be true, right?

Edit: 2300!!

14. Obsessive short term gains

apparently trump everything else these days.
