The coming revolution will not be right vs. left....
it will be rich vs. poor.

Look at what happened at the state capital building in Washington. The day is fast approaching when mama's will not be able to afford to feed their babies. And, when that happens, the revolution will be upon us.

The problem with our government is not that the House of Representatives is controlled by Republicans. The problem is that the House, the Senate, the White House, and the courts are controlled by THE RICH.

If you expect the government to start looking out for the poor, you are living a pipe dream.

That's why you won't see Obama suggesting making Social Security solvent by simply lifting the cap. Won't need to raise retirement age, or cut benefits to do that.

That's why you won't see Congress act to end oil speculation by requiring that before a barrell of oil be resold, the seller must first take possession. Oil has become, not a commodity, but stock. Speculators have a big interest in seeing the price of oil go up.

That's why you wont' see state legislatures pass minimal hikes in sales taxes to fund education, but rather cut teacher pay and furlough working teachers. The rich don't want to pay their fair share for an educated workforce.

I predicted a revolution in this country in our lifetimes the other day, and many of you laughed. Some of you assumed I was in favor of a revolution. I didn't say either way. I just predicted that it was coming.

Some of you assumed I was talking about the fight betweent the left and right in this country. I was not.

The revolution is coming. It will be rich vs. poor.

And, lest you think that in such a scenario that the government would turn the military against those revolting, let me remind you...

there aren't many rich people in the military....and, they won't turn their guns on their mamas and papas.

The rich should take heed to what they are doing to the poor in this country, and change their ways.

I doubt they will do that, however. So, my predicition stands.

Revolution in most of our lifetimes.

2. It seems to be human nature
not to know when to stop. This is why the rich keep their yachts and jets fueled.

3. This is, in fact, the ONE REASON why Beck has been allowed on the air
despite the loss of revenue: because he is great at tricking his followers into thinking the enemy is anyone BUT the rich.
