    Kind of embarrasing

    Most of the comments in response to this article boil down to "we're f*cked and thank goodness because folks will wake up when the world-as-we-know-it fails. Once we're all poor we'll finally reclaim our democracy and take what's ours from the wealthy."

    No wonder so-called liberals don't win elected office very often. This is such a negative, class-warfare PoV.

    Such a shame since many liberal values have created so much wealth and prosperity.
