    We agree the wealthy are largely to blame, but conservatives are the loyal defenders of the wealthy. For example, the wealthy do not bust unions on their own. They have conservatives do that for them. Conservatives defend the wealthy at any cost. They always have and always will.

    If not for conservatives, the normal people would be able to charge the wealthy with crimes. If not for conservatives, the wealthy would be required to pay appropriate taxes. The wealthy would be required to pay appropriate wages. The normal people would be able to address wealth inequality, global climate destruction, affordable healthcare and affordable housing. Conservatives are the sole champions of the wealthy on all of these issues. If not for conservatives, each of these issues could be addressed.

    We cannot defeat the boss until his minions are dead.

      That is ass backwards. You seem to believe you have to go through everyone to get to the wealthy. The problem is there will always be another sucker to take a “minions” place. You are simply playing into their hands.

        We completely disagree on this. The wealthy are too few to vote on their own. They need conservatives to support them with their votes. The wealthy know they can motivate conservatives by promising to satisfy their bloodlust. Nothing motivates a conservative to vote more than the promise of harming a vulnerable class. The wealthy exploit this trait.
