The attack on the working class.

Somewhere over the last few decades the working class of Americans has become the enemy of the state. In the eyes of the Tea Party they are people to be kept in place and under the thumb of the upper class. They are considered undereducated and unruly ..... people to look at with disdain .......to be used for the advancement and profit of the wealthy.

It is easy to see where the wealthy got that view. One had only to observe how easy it was for them to sway some of the Tea Party to join them .... and get them to blindly follow ..... even though what they are doing is going to hurt them also.

The working class seems to be an easy target. After all, they lack the money and the power to be much of a threat to the wealthy ........ or at least that is what the wealthy thought. The middle class population has lost their voice. Even though they have huge numbers, they are fearful because the wealthy have shown them they must kneel and worship them or they won’t allow them the right to exist.

This scenario has changed for a large majority of Americans ..... those who are struggling with unemployment and being underpaid. One aspect the wealthy overlooked was that when a person has nothing left to lose the hold you once had on them is gone.

They used the Republicans and the Tea Party to con people into thinking it is the wealthy that create jobs. The only thing the wealthy create is a vacuum as they suck the money from the working class.

The people have decided enough is enough and started the Occupy movement. In a few short months it has built not only in this country but in other parts of the world. This has the wealthy terrified and some have given it another thought and taken refuge on the occupy side. They realize that once the tipping point has been reached they may need some insurance so they don’t go down like many will.

Whether they will be spared only time will tell, but the anger isn’t just limited to the corporations and is growing toward those who pull the strings in government. Those people are viewed as puppets and both sides are being seen as corrupted ........ a cancer that has to be removed before it devours freedom and liberty.
