You're being played.

When I say that socialism is for the people, not the socialists, here's what I mean....

When a politician passes a healthcare bill for the "people" which exempts them, they're the socialist.

When a wealthy politician or celebrity states that the "rich" should pay higher taxes but refuse to write a check themselves, they're the socialist.

When a white person complains that there should be more "people of color" at their company, but they refuse to step down and give the "person of color" their position, they are essentially saying "you step down", they are a socialist.

How many "people of color" would do the same for a white person? None I would imagine. For that matter, in this economy I don't think anybody would voluntarily step down from a position just to let someone else have it no matter the race.

Well then, the lefties should just shut the hell up on the subject then.

They want utopia for everyone. But don't ask them to do anything.

Nah, they won't be happy until all opportunities to become successful have been removed and we're all living on government handouts.

All of you who are actually in the 99%, but won't support the movement. You need to wake up. You are being played. Numbers don't lie.

Where is Rev. Jim when all the useful idiots have drunk the Kool-aid? Fiddleing like Nero on the campaign trail.

Isn't it amazing that an overwhelming majority of 99% can scapegoat all their problems on a measley 1% minority.

Gee, we've never seen that before in history have we?
