Can't the middle class (which includes me) be happy that we have what we have and don't live in a country where 99% of the people live in tin shacks while the top 1% lives on plantations and controls the army and government. At least here in the US we have 89% living in nice houses, making salaries that are just enough to get buy and live a relatively luxurious life, with 10% only living in poverty and 1% at the top not completely controlling the government.
Because the top 1% now relies heavily upon threats to what people have as the consequences of their middle-class efforts. Our 1% might not yet have the power to send dissidents to labor camps, torture chambers, mental wards, or execution pits -- but they seem to be working on that. It is enough for those elites to use poverty as a threat.
Enhancing the power of the elites to deny us what we have earned through our efforts will create misery -- not happiness. More people are becoming poor as elites enrich themselves. Executives are being paid well for treating subordinates badly, squeezing competition, and getting concessions from the government.
Your entire post is a hodgepodge of ridiculous hyperbole, paranoia, and entertaining allegations that I would expect only from the typical teabagger. The irony about this is that you likely posted it from a very new Apple laptop, didn’t you?
