Dear 1%: Fuck You

We're just getting started.

It might not happen in 2016, you might get Hillary, or even someone out of the clown car. But that will be a short term victory for you.

It will happen as millennials come of age and the tea baggers expire. You've been pushing the pendulum to the corporate right for 40 years or more. Right now, the last 10 years or so it's been noticed. As they will, the pendulum will swing back.

Everyone you fucked in so many ways: student loans, predatory lending, spending on bullets (MIC, 1% tax cuts, deregulation, ...) while denying butter (infrastructure, climate change, ...); are gonna fuck your shit up.

So keep it up motherfuckers, that's the best thing you can do to hasten your demise.

My friend is a very successful trial attorney and member of the exclusive Inner Circle Of Advocates... I suspect she has a eight figure net worth... She is decidedly left...

She spent a lot of time in Haitian churches in working class Pine Hills, FL getting folks to register and vote for Barack Obama in 2008...


I suspect rich folk split in two like any other group; cool people and assholes, though I suspect the more money you have the greater the opportunity there is to be an asshole with impunity.

4. As our Nation ages,

and the populace demographics change,the ideals of the old British Common Wealth will fade. The next President will have to propose issues and monetary rules or laws to rebalance our Middle and Lower Income Earners Economic Power. If not,we go to a major economic bust,we either tax the wealthy or we go to the soup lines. Do agree how out of touch the Mega Rich are,dealt with many for years,and have to say there are so many that really don't give a rats ass as to what working or people in poverty do. The most hurt full statement I heard on a daily basis was,there will always be those poor people,they just got to get their asses out there and get a job. The other one is there will always be unemployed lazy people.

One of my first mentors once said,when you don't know the price of a loaf of bread,you have to much money. How true that rings.
