What is needed, and the only chance we have of recovering from the job these right-wing corporatists and plutocrats have done on us, is another FDR and an aggressive Progressive Congressional majority. We need people like Dennis Kucinich, Bernie Sanders, Eliot Spitzer, Alan Grayson, and other radically committed opponents of excessive wealth.I was reading tonight that some 1%ers ARE aware that there is historical precedent for so much wealth concentrated in the hands of so few. Many take to living in virtual isolation. Some are speaking out saying the 1%ers (those who are NOT already doing it - many are) need to be more loyal to their home countries. Otherwise, the people could really finally get fed up when the middle class gets so thin you could see through it.

But I don't see it happening anytime soon, mainly because of the preponderance of ignorant, indoctrinated, Joe-the-Plumber types who choose to remain blind to what the neo-Conservative movement, beginning with Ronald Reagan, has done to the middle class and to the Economy. These brainwashed Tories will stubbornly continue to vote against their own best interests.
For the past three decades the American people have been engaged in a political civil war which vastly serves the interests of a privileged few.
