    One of the rule of war is that it’s a “Two No, One Yes” situation. To avoid one, both sides have to say no. Either side can say yes and then you’re in a war whether you want it or not.

    The rich said yes, the middeclass/below said no and we lost by default.

    My whole life (now too many decades) the media propaganda has been saying how great deregulation, no taxes, and business-style government leadership is. Too many people believed those lies by the rich. So, here we are: in a new Guilded Age and making peanuts for our labor while our children’s future is quite dim.
