OHCHUTE 0 #26 February 7, 2013 Should middle class property owners get pissed off enough due to: Prices Cost of college tuitions Loss of work taxes Natural disasters viruses Assholes wanting to take away rights of others, rights they don't give a hoot about. This society could collapse. The banking society collaped but they just deleted toxic paper with the delete button. And printed more notes and money. (rather typed in money, to their electronic forms) Can't delete an angry mob so easily as toxic debt. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Disagree: apart from a few malcontents they will just sit on their fat arses and watch reality TV.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

Prices? Rising because they are willing to pay $1.69 for a bottle of water. If they refused to pay that, and (horrors) drank from a water fountain, prices would come down. As with any commodity. Taxes? Taxes rise because the middle class want wars, and social security, and nice roads. Loss of work? That's a result of the economy, and our economy is driven by middle class spending. >Natural disasters >viruses Well, they can be pissed off about them if they want. Societal collapse will, of course, make the effects of those things a LOT worse. >Assholes wanting to take away rights of others, rights they don't give a >hoot about. Yep. When Joe Politician wants to take away people's rights, they are either assholes or heroes to the general public depending on whether the general public cares about those rights. How many times have you heard "why do you want to give rights to criminals/terrorists/muslims/THOSE people?" >Can't delete an angry mob so easily as toxic debt. Correct. Of course, their anger is best directed at themselves, but it takes a certain amount of intelligence to see that - and mobs are not known for their intelligence.

And as a result they'll get what is coming to them. Including clogged arteries. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
