John Colson: Hit and Run | AspenTimes.com:
"...Right now, anyone who doesn't want to see the United States degenerate into a completely feudal society, where there is a tiny class of the super-rich, a slightly larger management class, and a monstrously huge, underpaid, underfed and persecuted worker class, had better wake up and smell the blood, sweat and tears of our forebears.
We've been through this before, over most of human history, as we slowly evolved to the point where we, the underclass, realized there is no such thing as a divine right to power held by a mysterious, mystical but inherently nasty upper-class.
In this country, the realization came in the early 20th Century, a time of bloody riots and ruthless attempts by the ruling class to hold on to its undeserved plutocracy, with the ignorant aid of an army of thugs and cops.
Scott Walker and his ilk want us to go back to those times, because they believe they will be among the rulers. And getting rid of the public-sector unions, which are just about all that's left of a once-mighty labor movement, is a big step in that direction."
