Who do you think abuses our government and social system worse, the very rich...or the very poor?




Good point. There is a point, and I think lately the far-right has begun crossing it, that Libertarianism begins to start to smack more of just plain Sociopathy than any real political ethos.

You see it more and more lately especially since fvcktards like Glenn Beck and The Teabaggers crawled out of the woodwork and were given soapboxes courtesy of the Pharma and Insurance industries.

One of the cool things about America used to be Civic Pride, in which as tax paying citizens, we enjoyed seeing our money go into our communities in the for of roads, bridges, and architectually pleasing public works. No one ever said anything like "I dont use the town park, so I ain't gonna pay fer it! Charge user fees!" Or "I hate gubmit so I think instead of courts we should just shoot people."

I think it's a tragic trend and if I had to put my finger on any root cause, I'd say it began with desegregation.
