Don't you just love it? If we don't accept what the OP believes, we're peasants! Look at it another way. If we let the the system go laissez-faire as the economic consrvatives/libertarians want, the overwhelming majority will be become peasants as more and more wealth is concentrated in the hands of the few. Not everyone is going to be a Captain of Industry, but there are those who will look at those that don't with contempt and say "it's all their own fault". The sad thing is that many who give lip service to that "ism" will undoubtedly end up down there with the peasants.
The real test of freedom in this far too materialistic country ....
"far too materialistic" according to whom?
"How did you get this way? You were probably another faceless, empty-headed college kid who was all too easy to indoctrinate, and then you spent several years watching MSNBC and NOT thinking.
Nope. Actually I have owned my own business for 25 years now. I see the people who call on my business having less and less as their employers are simply bad. Thats the fact. Take that and learn from it. My advice to them is to walk out on their jobs, no notice. That is SOUND advice. Find a better job and dont work for the low wages your lousy ill begotten boss is paying you. Why people settle for low wages is beyond me.

According to me, you don't think it is materialistic enough? We have a whole population of miserable people working themselves into an early grave to pay the credit bill for shit they don't need and don't have time to enjoy.

And who the fuck are you to decide what "shit" people need or don't need? And who the fuck are you to decide what people enjoy and how much time they need to do so? Mind your own fucking business and work on your own misery.
American Peasantry

For there to be a king there must be peasants. Peasants aren't defined by their wealth but by their belief that others should rule them.
Generally speaking peasants believe as they do either because they have been taught since birth that the King is better than they are or because without the King they feel they would not survive in a dangerous world. While America was founded by the antithesis of peasants, liberals have been working to reestablish the peasant class because liberals view themselves as the modern nobility; wiser, kinder, more knowing than the folk in flyover country and obligated by their superiority to rule over others. We see this when Obama complains about having to deal with Congress, even a Congress run by his own party, or when Obama says he's envious of how the Chinese leader rules China.
The DNA of Americans is such that any attempt to produce a peasant class by convincing folks that liberals are superior to the average Joe or Jane is doomed to failure. As a result, liberals have taken the second path -- frighten the people to the extent that they feel the government is the only source of safety. The liberal social experiment began with Obama's icon FDR. Like Obama, FDR inherited a very bad economy, and like Obama FDR made the situation worse through poorly-formulated government plans. But both men realized that the more that people depended on the government for their daily bread, the more power the government could wield.
A bad economy worked in both FDR and Obama's favor because it put fear into Americans; sufficient fear that they would turn to government largess as a seemingly safe haven in a time of economic despair. Any candidate who tried to point out that welfare only works until you run out of other people's money stands little chance of getting the votes of people convinced that lavish government spending is their only chance to survive.
The reelection of Obama is not surprising. FDR was reelected even though the U.S. economy didn't recover until, and because of, WWII. Even FDR's support of England -- which was very unpopular in the days before Pearl Harbor -- couldn't get FDR thrown out of office. In the same way, Obama's continued support for the war in Afghanistan and the Gitmo detention facility didn't adversely impact Obama's reelection.
What kept both men in office was the fear of Americans who believed that without the massive government spending on welfare, jobs programs and so on that Obama and FDR supported, they would starve.

Progressives aren't the ones being used and abused by the top 1 percent. Do you really think the Koch brothers care about you. You are being duped and the sad thing is you do not even realize it. They rile you up and pit you against other people in your economic demographic. Divide and conquer. If they get their way one day you will be walking to work with your 10 year old son, working for 5 dollars/hr, and you will realize you were wrong.
You absolutely worship America's aristocracy and it isn't the government. You also call people like me commies for just expecting something to actually trickle down as advertised.
No we call you a commie because of your adherence to communist idealogy and support for revolutionary movements who open advocate for the violent overthrow of the nation, as per your handle.
I like how people who regularly show they don't have a mastery over their own intelligence or their own language want to put complex labels on other people that they themselves cannot even explain the meaning of.They aren't? Y'mean they can vote for the other side from time to time without a Union Boss giving them the poorest jobs at the lowest wages to discipline them or pee in their coffee for laughs?American Peasantry

Please tell me how a union boss knows who anyone is voting for? Do they have spies in the voting booth? Many union members vote republican so your argument is asinine.
