The real tragedy...

..is that under a superliberal majority the poor get poorer. The middle class disappears. The rich...get richer.

What's that?

Yes. The rich get richer. Every tax hixe on the wealthy FAVORS the rich. Joe the Plumber and Eva the Accountant will pay the taxes, fire a few poor folk that work for them and the poor will scream the rich aren't being taxed enough.

It's irrationality elevated to art. It's permanent enslavement of the poor. The Mexican gardener earning 50 dollars a day under the table will earn 20. For each hike of the minimum wage millions will be shifted out of the labor force permanently. The rich stand to make a bundle off of an Obama Presidency.

How? THe destruction of competition and the consolidation of wealth in the hands of the few. No middle class quasi rich folks with 500k will threaten the rich monopolies or go into business competing with them. THe rich monopolies can hike up their prices on the poor - and the poor will pay them.

Has anyone ever been in a poor part of town and stopped at a market or a gas station? The prices are astronomical and the goods are often expired or about to expire. The market owner makes 3-5 times the profits a market does in a middle class neighborhood and has far cheaper rent to boot. He just has to keep a sawed off shotgun under the counter. The pedestrian poor can't even drive a few blocks over to a cheaper market.

Yes, under Obama the poor will grow in number only to serve the elite just as they did under Clinton's tax hike and Bush's anti-antitrust negligence.

Saving fools from themselves is like trying to save a struggling drowning man who can't swim - their own ignorance deepens their predicament and their instincts are always wrong.

Meanwhile, parasites like Obama will rise to the top on the backs of these drowning fools. He will literally be able to walk on water - on the floating backs of those he will drown in a sea of permanent poverty.

Anyone who truly cared about the poor and the underclasses would RUN - not walk - from the DNC. Instead ,like moths to the light, they are hypnotized, hopelessly mired in poverty, and race to the bulb even faster and closer until they are naught but ashes.
