    And Davies keeps the Class Warfare propaganda going.-Human rights might include the right to water sources in public, provided by taxes in government buildings.-The rest of America is Private. That is the Sector where business executives have earned the year-end bubbly, by keeping the bottom line of profit in the black.-Davies must be a Marxist Totalitarian where Government rations all things to all people (except to the Elite Rulers, of course).

    lichtentunes said, about 2 hours ago @disgustedtaxpayer …“I guess you are in favor of the corporate fascist state. Good luck with that.”-We do not have a “corporate fascist state”….elected government has all power over our military. Individual state elected officials have power over state police. So what exactly are you imagining?-Fascism is what Italy was before the end of WW2. We do not have that form of government.-Who’s teaching these lies to you, Marxist Professors?

    @ disgusted taxpayerThe truth hurts, doesn’t it? The working poor (AKA former middle class) pays the largest percentage of tax per earnings, and stands by helplessly while privately funded politicians funnel favors and funds to corporate interests. Anyone with the bravado to try to educate the public to this oligarchy in republic’s clothing usually gets tagged as Marxists, Communists, Anarchists or just plain old subversives. An example: Our government is supposedly represented “of the people, by the people, and for the people”. This radical notion promoted by our Founding Fathers has been subverted by the SCOTUS by insisting that “corporations are people too”. Yet I don’t see those corporations imprisoned for breaking laws regarding taxation, campaign funding, or breaching contractual obligations to homeowners, etc.! I do see Wall Street’s puppeteers in D.C. cutting programs that have historically benefitted the common man, while subsidizing corporations whose recklessness is tolerated not just because they are “too big to fail”, but also because their failures would put an end to campaign funding (which politicians will never permit)!America’s great experiment of a democratic republic has fallen, and “perish(ed) from this Earth”. So now the elitists must destroy the promise of “Freedom of Speech”, which the “disgusted taxpayer” apparently abhors.The Patriot Act has killed our Bill of Rights, so it follows that the next victim should be those who (like myself and Matt Davies) dare to express our thoughts in public.Until such “radical thinkers” are muzzled, you ( the "disgusted taxpayer) can continue to enjoy your bonus’ built by the efforts of others’ labors. Happy Labor Day!

    The “TEA party” today IS a lot more radical than were many of the folks in it when it first got started.

    As to the elements of “radical” like “Islam”:

    “And they say: “None shall enter Paradise unless they be Jew or Christian”. Those are their (vain) desires. Say: “Produce your proof if ye be truthful”Nay, whoever submits His whole self to Allah and is a doer of good, He will get his reward with his Lord, on such shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve." : The Quran

    “Allah” of course is that same God of Abraham, and the Quran goes on elsewhere to say repeatedly that those who believe in the God of Abraham will be saved, yet as the Quran also notes, Jews and Christians also have the “key”

    To accept RADICAL movements, religious, political, OR “economic”, IS to deny “freedom” OR “democracy”..

    In spite of all the accusations here that if I cite HISTORY, I get accused of “hate”, especially by radical conservatives, I believe the altruism taught by Buddhism, and even Mohammed and Jesus, but ignored by way too many of their “followers” of today, is the best way to go, and get along.

    “Society” is where all people live together, and social conscience means ALL people are treated FAIRLY, even if not all “equally”. The U.S. is now one of the worst in the world on income inequality, and that doesn’t mean the rich have to become poor, it means we need to RESTORE the middle class, that “Reagaonmics” has done so much to destroy over the last 30+ years. It has NOT been a result of “liberal” actions, especially as many so called liberals, haven’t been.

    It is incredible how comfortable the TSE (Tax Somebody Else) party members are with how their party is secretly financed.

    Actually, the first one should say " the great unwashed" and the other should say “Political class”I too am jealous of the rich, but the only ones I resent are those in washington who think it is my responsibility to keep them that way, even when they leave office.Also, for those of you cracking on the rich: Do you realize that you pay way too much money to see their movies and watch their sporting events, and listen to their music, thus giving them more millions in their pocket? The Salaries of CEO’s look like minimum wage compared to what some celebrities bring home.

    Like the toon. Great statement on the ever increasing disparity between the rich and the poor.
