With GOP Running Things 80% Workers Get Used To Low Wages And No Benefits.

[TheMastersNemesis]

Sequestration is about knocking down public workers to the same low wages the private sector is now used to. I call it reverse communism in that the GOP will not be happy until everyone is miserable except the 20% they call their base and the 1% they call their funders.

1. This is the predictable end game to Capitalism.

The USA is in a Death Spiral.

I for one, don't think there is anything that can stop what's coming.

We let this happen. Our leaders, party, and government have failed us. Miserably.

2. If You Look At The Income Inequality Graph That Is Viral My Post Is Exactly What That

graph says. It shows that ONLY THE TOP 20% or less are making a livable wage right now. And if you look at the last part of the video there is almost no wealth in the bottom 80% and NO job security. WE ARE NOW LIKE A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY when it comes to employment.

And the situation is much much much worse than the media is telling us. It is impossible for the deficit to go down.

3. Agreed.

As I said, this is the predictable end game to Capitalism. It is the only possible result.

This is the real world play out of the game of Monopoly. The coming shitstorm of social upheaval is likely to rip this Nation to pieces beyond repair. The momentum of manufactured economic crisis after manufactured economic crisis has taken hold and will sound the death toll for life as we knew it. This is Disaster Capitalism. Makes me glad to be at the end of my life. I am ashamed of what we will leave behind. It didn't have to be this way.

4. Fortunately, we have a Democratic President and Senate, who will

--uh, appoint Wall Street insiders like Lew & Pete Peterson to look after our interests

and keep putting "reforms" of Social Security & Medicare on the table until they can force the Republicans to accept them

and spend billions to protect us from the evils of marijuana despite the obviously misguided will of the majority

and find a way to get us into a new war in the Middle East now that we've "won" in Afghanistan

and…Well, you get the idea. Carry on for yourselves.
