Maybe one day the Teapublicans will figure out they shouldn't be making up crap.

When a group treats everyone as if they are stupid it is no wonder that people catch on eventually. It is pretty amusing how the Republicans are the ones not catching a clue and keep on keeping on with their silliness.

Would be interested to hear anyone's take on this as, personally, I found this quite horrifying. If this carries on into the future, what will be the outcome for our respective societies? How will this impact on future opportunities for our children and grandchildren? And is this a sustainable economic model within our capitalist systems and for a country's economic development?

Just some of many questions I have.

Excellent video, and thanks for sharing this. I have posted a few things on Newsvine in the past showing the wealth inequality in this country, and some of the radical right wingers think that's how it should be. Unbelievable!

I'm going to share this video around some other places, the more people who see it, the better!

Well, hope later we get some traffic on this, as I would like to know what others' perceptions are. I am trying to get something similar for the UK and some other European countries. Would be good to make comparisons if there is a pattern, globally, and if Europeans think along similar lines, or at least beginning to on wealth perceptions.

I am hoping to post an article here later on Cyprus, and the banking crisis, and how that is impacting the population as it begins to take hold with austerity. As sequestration in the US (austerity??) begins to gather momentum, I am wondering what similar experiences will we be having on a range of various, especially on the potential of rising social unrest as a result. Will do that when I get back in June.

I hope/wish you might be right.
Here's URLs for the one child gun distributor. See how some of the guns are in pretty colors for the kids. How is a 4 year old going to differentiate a toy gun and one of these real guns? It makes no sense. It makes me angry too.

Oh, yes. That is the website I read about, but then someone posted and said it had been taken down? Well, if that was the one. Hate to think how many are around. I just find it incredible that these weapons are not totally illegal. Maybe this is one gun issue that Pres. Obama could turn around and end once and for all, and impose an age limit on weapon training at the very least.

I think they took the boy into care, but not sure if it was just temporary, or what has happened to the parents. One just has to hope that the mindset of some parents has been altered over this. I believe the Kentucky sherriff responded with "well, accidents happen".... geesz, I despair!!

"McCarthy received not the normal dozens of questions, but more than 1,000. That appears to be an extreme case, but it’s not just her, either. As the New York Times reported, Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew had to answer 395. By contrast, George W. Bush’s last Treasury Secretary received 49 questions from Democrats and 32 from Republicans."

Republicans are screwing over America and America's citizens.

It's sad that I don't even find stuff like this surprising anymore.
