    Why would I fight for democracy if the masses see me as their enemy? That’s what I mean. If everyone with more money they you (even wage workers) is the enemy than I guess I have to side with the system that protects me. What other choice do I have? Sacrifice my life for the good of the common people? Who am I? Prometheus?

      Lmao: this country can’t even come together and agree that the richest 10,000 people can afford some austerity with the rest of us. I don’t think anyone needs to sacrifice their life for anything personally. I think we can all probably sacrifice some comforts for the sake of unity and equality, but I really think we can just sacrifice the billionaires, metaphorically I suppose. Or maybe we can just keep holding elections, voting more austerity for ourselves, more debt for our grand children, and more yachts for 0.000001%, and the promise that your kids won’t have to live like the second class citizens you have created.

        Ok, so you’re saying that it’a enough for me to support higher taxes for the rich and we’ll be cool? The poor masses wont kill me in the class war even if I do have a yacht?
