    @Robocalls and Drilling

    Thanks.

    I realize my previous post, "An Note on 'Class Warfare,' is super-long, and therefore will not be read by most people here, but this is exactly what I was trying to get at. This drilling issue is their "refocus," as you so perfectly put it.

    And it really is perfect. The moneyed class is literally trying to drill a hole through the gigantic--indeed monolithic--coalition of average Americans everywhere who are sick of getting screwed by the moneyed and privileged elites who profit from the short-sighted and often just flat-out criminal governmental policies--mostly agreed to in Congressional back rooms--that only benefit them.
