Told ya!

Well whaddya know?  Seems one Jeff Greene, uber billionaire, is getting a wee bit anxious about the fact that the Occupy Movement may have been a like watching a baby sleep compared to the shitstorm that's coming if the level of income inequality and the eroding of the middle class continues unabated.  Seems Mr. Greene even believes that eventually the ultra wealthy will realize the error of their ways--read, we can hold onto more of our money this way--and eventually become more supportive of progressive causes because it will be in their best financial interest.

Haven't I--moi, me, emaycee--been saying that it was only a matter of time before the aforesaid shitstorm hits?

Unfortunately for Mr. Greene, though, I tend to agree more with this assessment by John Kenneth Galbraith:

"People of privilege will always risk their complete destruction rather than surrender any material part of their advantage."

One only need look at their desperate attempt to buy this election for Willard Romney to understand Mr. Galbraith's assertion.

Peace,
emaycee
