Somebody tell me..........

[socialist_n_TN]

why the rich don't have to "sacrifice" in the name of "austerity".

[Zephie]

1. Obviously God chose them for being so very moral and devout.

Otherwise they wouldn't be blessed with riches.

Right....? :shrug:

[socialist_n_TN]

Hm. The "Divine Right of Wealth".........

OK. I guess that one answer. :)

[NNN0LHI]

2. Golden Rule

Those with the gold make the rules.

Don

3. And another vote for the "Divine Right of Wealth"

:)

[FiveGoodMen]

4. Because the rest of us don't make them.

There aren't enough rich to out-vote or out-fight (or out-run) the rest of us, who get the thin end of the wedge every time.

But they keep too many of us busy worshiping their life-styles, houses, bank accounts, fame, etc.

So we don't fight back.

We really would be in control of the country if we'd recognized the enemy sooner.

Now, I wonder if it's too late.

5. Well as I've said before, it's not a class war.........

until we fight back. Until then it's just class massacre.

At least this isn't another version of the "Divine Right of Wealth". :)

10. Exactly it also doesn't help that our around half of our 'leaders' work for that tiny rich minority.

7. Because that would be "class warfare,"

and all discussion must cease when those two words are uttered.

[socialist_n_TN]

8. Yep. But obviously class massacre is OK........

And by that of course, I mean the actual massacre of the middle class AS a class.

9. I'm glad this question is getting to be a bigger gorilla in the room.

Getting harder to avoid, obfuscate and dissemble the basic principals of this glaringly sensible question.

[socialist_n_TN]

11. Yep. I've wondered about the answer to this...........

ever since I read "The Shock Doctrine". Very few ever ask this question and no apologist for the rich ever has an answer.
