First a possible "October surprise,...Oh great. First a possible "October surprise," putting us into yet another war, then, after the clownish Romney is defeated, O makes a lame-duck deal with Republicans to cut Social Security in order to help pay for this mess (see Huffington Post article on Senator Bernie Sander's protest). With no genuine debate in this country on almost anything of real political importance, at least Sanders is willing to take his protest to the steps of a closed door fiscal summit. Sanders points out the following staggering statistics (never mentioned by Bill Clinton in the "arithmetic" of his stem winding endorsement of O at the Democratic Convention): The 400 richest people in this country own as much wealth as the bottom 150,000,000. The top 1% own 40% of the total wealth. The bottom 60% own a miniscule 1% of the wealth. Both parties are in the thrall of greedy elites. If there is to be yet another war intended to unite us around our leaders, we can rest assured that the rich will not pay their share for it, either in blood or taxes. <br /><br />L.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
