SMUG RICH : AREN'T THEY AFRAID OF THE NEXT REVOLUTION?


[+] ballot by LCD
ACTIVE Tue Aug 05, 08 - Wed Aug 05, 09

it is said when marie-antonette was told that the people didn't have any bread, she said "let them eat cake".

didn't she hang from the nearest tree when the revolution came?

I just read an op-ed piece on bloomberg, google "Pity the Poor People Who Have to Fly Coach Class: Michael Lewis"

some people worked hard to be where they are, others cheated or inherited it. Thanks to some good fortune one way or another, they can afford luxuries that rest of the population cannot afford.

most of the terran population can barely keep body and soul together, and that includes significant population right here in US of A.

shouldn't these ultra rich people be a little less smug, so they wouldn't be against the wall when the revolution comes?

Nah, let 'em eat cake.
What revolution?
Let them be smug.

'Pity the poor people'. That sounds like he's being sympathetic to me. Why would you want to hang him from a tree?

Voted : What revolution?
Well to be honest, it's questionable that she actually said that at all. But rather, it is believed that due to her heavy Austrian accent, she was misunderstood. I also think you're speaking in over generalisations. Are you bitter about people who have more than you? Why begrudge people who have become successful? I personally do not use money or material wealth as the benchmark of success. For some, a tiny cottage, a peaceful life and enough to get by is happiness.

"you didn,t read the piece."

I could only base my comment on the information you provided here. If you wanted a robotic agreement with your view, maybe you should have provided a quote by Michael Lewis (whoever he is) which actually showed him being smug.

Just a thought.

and I didn't want a "robotic agreement with my view".

^ Lol, did that eat away at ya for four hours before you replied?

You just didn't seem a happy bunny with my comment against hangin' the ultra rich from a tree, that's all, dude. Wasn't aimin' to get your hackles up. :o)

If there's a revolution, it'll be fueled by the ultra rich.

Because there's only so much that Joe Blow and his buddies can do with a little web space and a limited supply of ink for printing leaflets.

Through oil price gouging, Iraq has many billions of dollars in American banks, and Bush is trying to bankrupt America by rebuilding Irag. That goes beyond smug rich. That is assaultive rich. And evil.

^britvic, I wasn't able to reply, because I was checking with my cellphone.

when I got home, four hours later, I entered the second message.

They are afraid. They are scared little bitches with black souls. That's why they go to so much trouble arranging the economy to keep people poor and stupid with television, alcohol, attacks on the family and drugs.
And they will never stop attempting to concentrate more power in fewer hands until no-one has any freedom whatsoever save to live serving the ultra-rich cunts or die.
