Hungry people will do anything to get food. This is what brought down French Kings and Queens.

When you take away food, you take away hope. Hopeless people are angry mean people. Hunger is what ushered in the New Deal, FDR and WWII.

It's not just the fact that people will go hungry as they do in dictatorships all over the world. It's that what they had, what little food they got, is going to be taken away from them. It's not as if these newly hungry people lived there whole life scrounging for food. It's that the food they once relied on is actively being pulled back to give tax cuts to the filthy-rich.

The filthy-rich oligarchs think this is fine. They think they can use these newly hungry people to work for pennies. They think it will give them cheap and practically free labor.

But......a lot of the hungry are smart, if not rich, people. They can see pedo Trump's $300 million ballroom being erected. They can see how the rich live while they starve or beg for food.

Who do you think they will blame when the filthy-rich take away the little food they had?
