"There’s not a middle class family who’s child is not at risk," says Stern.

Whose, Goldy.

Didn't I once say something similar about the end of the college exemption and and the start of the lottery?

But whatever, the movie Inequality For All is out in DVD and on demand today, if anyone hasn't seen it they should.

If anyone can't make it to Town Hall tonight and will not watch Inequality For All, then at least take 7 min from your life to watch this

Bad analogy. That's how Nixon got elected.

I agree, if this stinky socialist halfwit gettign elected shows that our political system is not working. Likewise Sawant pushing her pinhead theories as an "Economics Professor" shows that the education system is also broken.

By 2020, after the next economic collapse, around 70% of Americans will be living in poverty. The country won't even be recognizable. Maybe then people will take inequality seriously.

@1 Thanks. Long day.

@4...

Poor little cascading Bacon is getting butt-hurt because the people are realizing how bad they've voted screwed for the last 30 years.

Tough lessons, fuckwad.

Arrrgggh...phat phingers.

It's also a "Barack Obama moment". We have the same number of non-white women senators as socialist senators (1% each). We have had the same number of non-white women Seattle mayors and US Presidents as socialists (0% each). Despite non-white women making up about 17% of the city and country.

We're sick of capitalism that only benefits the super-rich and we're sick of greedy white men running everything to the detriment of everyone else. They're one and the same problem.

@2 yep shit is off the chart. Surpassing the robber barons.

@4 You are not as well off as you think or ought to be and won't ever be, see @2's vid. It is a cartoon so you might just grasp it.

Fudd's law "If you push something hard enough it will fall over".

Tell me "Cascadian pieces of pig", just how top heavy does it have to get before it tips over?

Does the Stranger pay all of its employees at least $15/hour? What about "apprentices"? Do they all have employer-sponsored health insurance? Why does every reporter at the Stranger keep ignoring this question?

Geez, did some little South Asian girl lose control of her bicycle and ride right into the ball that Cascadian Bacon hasn't accidentally shot off yet? I thought he was just a gun nut. Why's he all freaked-as-fuck-all over Sawant's election? Maybe he could just spend a few bucks for a protective cup--maybe even under a buck if he goes for a used one.

@10
No, I totally agree that we are all fucked, our system is unstainable.

I don't think packing people into cities and turning to socialism is going to help anything.

Don't question party officials comrad.

Well people have been packing into cities for thousands of years. Unless you favor establishing a lottery or something to keep the population down that Jeffersonian Agrarian Utopia isn't gonna happen. Love em or hate em so long as people reproduce at a faster rate then they die cities will grow.

With regards to Socialism I've no idea what you mean by that term. Americans, particularly those leaning towards what passes for "right wing or conservative" play rather fast, loose and inaccurately with terms such as socialism, communism, fascism, republic, democracy, timocracy, etc....

OK.

let's assume you jackasses are right.

let's drag the Rich into the street and beat them to death.

let's take all their wealth and divide it among the 99%.

each 99% household will get $160,000.

now what?

you chumps will burn through that in about 18 months. or less.

then what?

what will your new job be?

who will pay your salary?

The Rich are not your problem,

YOU are your problem.

Sorry.
You're losers.
And losers usually lose.
No matter what the game is.
No matter what the rules are....

If you want to be a winner
(and the 1% are not the winners. money≠winning. the actual winners are scattered all among the 99%, because you jackass losers actually only speak for about half of the country....)

where were we;
oh yes;
If you want to be a winner develop the social and life skills and moral values to enable you to get and stay married.

Traditional Heterosexual Marriage is the single most predictive factor in staying out of poverty and achieving satisfaction in life.

now you know.

The GOP has spent the last 30+ years successfully redefining "socialism" as "any time the government functions in such a way as to help the mass of people and not just the 1%."

And now they're SURPRISED when people say "Okay, then, that's what we'd like"?

Fuck Andy Stern. He was on Obama's catfood commission that recommended austerity for working people. He headed the biggest debacle in recent labor history--the "Change to Win" breakup. He headed up a union who didn't organize new people, but grew through forced mergers and acquisitions with other smaller unions. The guy is basically machine politician scum, so it is no surprise that Goldy loves him.

Please wait...
