One week ago today I posted about the growing disparity between the wealthiest few and then the rest of America, predicting trouble in the long run if this is not addressed.
Not immediately, of course. It will be another generation before minorities become majorities, elected officials reflect this shift and then laws begin to flirt with the forced redistribution of our wealth. Then we’ll see a mass exodus of that wealth to a neutral country, taking the jobs with it and before long...see where this is going?
But in the meantime, reality TV star from MTV's The Real World, now hapless Republican Congressman Sean Duffy of Wisconsin made a plea to his constituents this week that he was “struggling to get by on only $174,000 a year” while he voted to limit middle class benefits for everyone else.
Now, $174K is a far cry from wealthy but perhaps he forgot they were likely trying to live a respectable life and educate their children on something much closer to the national average of about $Forty eight thousand dollars.
So what will his voters do for him? They are holding a “food and clothes drive” asking for “canned bourguignon.”
“Top hats & Monocles” lol And “Used Cashmere.”
It’s early yet.
