Scared Enough To DO Something Meaningfull? We'll See.

   (Commentary posted by Roger Erickson)


Why conservative billionaires have started talking like Bernie Sanders: “We are creating a caste system from which it’s almost impossible to escape” 
This is Kenneth Langone, the founder of Home Depot and a longtime GOP donor. His biggest fear? Income inequality. (hat tip John Lewis)
What do you supposed finally tipped Langone off? Sixty years of ignored feedback, finally opened by chance one afternoon?

What might the billionaires do? Auction off a few Congresspeople - and let a crowdfunding org buy them back?

No mention of a job guarantee from these hand-wringers. Oh well.
Meanwhile the mechanisms of repression have been refined and honed in preparation for what may be coming.

Unlike 1933, there is no "pressure from below" i.e. no political organization to oppose current trends.

Same with John Menard of Menards, only worse. No one previously a union member is eligible to work there.

Lowe's may not be as bad but they're not good. Overtime issues.
