Reply #12: "Thanks to Grandpa"... [View All]

[ljm2002]

...no, really it's "Thanks to the greedy f***ers who ran the economy into the ground, and have now hampered any attempts to retain a middle class and middle class jobs in this country". i.e. the banksters, the CEOs and their bloated salaries (not to mention their bloated sense of self-worth), the hate mongers on the radio, the rich and the filthy rich and the politicians they own, starting with the malicious Republicans and ending with the complicit (and self-serving) Democrats.

It ain't Grandpa's fault. He has to survive in the system he's in, what the hell is he supposed to do, starve? What's even worse, Grandpa gets to take a low-level job as a Wal-Mart greeter, and it's not even safe - people feel free to abuse him if not outright attack him as we have seen in various news stories recently.

Yeah, it's a wonderful society we've created while we allow the filthy rich to continue to stack the deck to their own benefit, and they continue to manipulate us so that we fight among ourselves: public against private workers, right against left, Democrat against Republican, young against old, it goes on and on and it is working just fine. For them.
