Mary, it does make me wonder why so many people want to be serfs. That role was never a popular one, but a whole lot of people were forced into working to survive for the benefit of the rich and powerful. How is that a positive for anyone but the very rich, yet that is the promise of Republicans who are using middle-class and working-class white people to make them serfs?

When the wealthy use their minions to confound, confuse, manipulate and make it seem as though they really care and want to help, offering them a better way of life, thatтАЩs how it happens. The rich have something the weary, beaten down working class want and are promised over and over. ItтАЩs the old carrot on a stick routine.
I like how you put that, Ruth, & I've noticed it, too. I am pretty sure the majority of them have no idea that those they support will lead them to serfdom. And we're a lot closer to that reality than most people realize.

The truth hurts, but it will set so many people free ; if only they can know it!
Ruth Sheets : goes to show that ignorance may not be bliss: once the reality of 'serfdom' hits. Ignorance hurts. A lot.
