Egypt

Egypt. . . The reasons, I hear, for the current upsettedness of the Egyptian people include government corruption: lack of jobs; vast difference between the haves and the have nots: which support my contention of several months ago that the next revolution in the United States is going to be between the haves and have nots.

 

While their constituents are losing their jobs, congress gives themselves raises. and enlarge their expense accounts. While their constituents do not have health care members of congress make sure they and their families have the best healthcare plan in the world. While their constituents lose their pensions, members of congress make sure they and their families have the best retirement plan in the world.

 

Don't forget the incest among corporate America and our elected officials. The super rich making everyday expenses beyond the reach of the average American.

 

First depression, second revolution. The next armed conflict within the borders of the United States will be not be racial, or religious, or ideological it will be the have nots rising up against the haves. Remember the French Revolution? "Let them eat cake." Remember what happened. The United States is not beyond such extremism.
