We don`t have any money,but we have free-speech.Obama,say they(corrupt rich) talk about him like dogs Lesson learn,we need to use our free speech and call these "dogs"(rich mad-dogs) out! For the people who have the courage,every time they show their face,we should let them know(and world) they`re a "Cancer" on life! Lets use our "free speech" to help get rid of the cancer on "Democracy".We don`t need money to do this.

Exactly how have "the rich"

Exactly how have "the rich" been holding you back?

Probably the best way they've done if for millions...is to collapse the economy....that's still in the process of collapse.

Economic collapses tend to hold people back....and a few make out like bandits.

I don't see how a collapsed

I don't see how a collapsed economy helps the rich,  What is their benefit?

Let's say the economy collapses and takes the government with it.  "The rich" wake up the next morning and rake in what benefit for their efforts?

How the rich get richer &

How the rich get richer & poor get poorer? "Money",by getting rid of the competition.Survival of the fittest(most money) Lesson learn,people are more civilize when working & sharing on a equal base.Things aren`t equal now,we need balance.Have we learn any lessons from history?

So the rich are personally "collapsing" the economy for personal gain?  Can you give me an example?

I think our President is doing as much "collapsing" as anyone.

I'm not being a smartass here, but I really can't think of any civilized societies were everything is shared on an equal basis.  Can you?

I can think of a lot of impoverished societies were everyone is equally miserable, but not any developed nations where it has worked.  The former Soviet Union was the biggest Marxist experiment to date, and I'm not sure that worked out real well did it.

poly relies. The examples are abundant. Le't stick with one: Ricardo, a Father of Economic noted that if a nation allows shipping its labor costs abroad (outsourcing) it will impoverish itself and its people. A few make out like bandits.. That's one under-pinning of our collapse.

poly replies: That's  limited to really small social groupings pretty close to a family level. However, egalitarian socities have flourished in the past..

Equal outcomes and egalitarian outcomes  are two very different things. The plutocratic outcome we have now is similar to neither. It more resembles monarchy outcomes of 300-400 years ago.

To the topic: The last time the "rich were pressured" for change was when FDR was elected. He was informed that he had about a year before an armed rebellion would occur...and the army didn't have the strength to put down. Change happened pretty fast. when the wealthy envisioned themselves being hung from lamp posts..

Peewee,I should have said,"on

Peewee,I should have said,"on a more equal base".(equal being relative) The failure of capitalism & communism is because they cannot live with democracy. Civilization have come a long way,lets hope it don`t stop with these two failures.Laborism or Democratism will be next "ism",a new form of economic democracy.The workers become the "boss/ruling class".Hopefully life will be better,and more equal.Poly,the ruling class don`t need an army to protect them,they have WMD.Remember "MAD",we don`t need to go that way,we the people give money value and we can take it away.That`s our WMD,controlling our money! A Public Bank can give us control.
