America is being divided between the workers and the dwellers in the government cloud.
The $110,729 families are independent while the $4,955 families are living in the cloud.Their cloud is "Social Capital". Social Capital is their support system within their extended families and the government. Instead of using real capital, they use the collective Social Capital of family resources and government aid.The $110,729 family pays for everything. The $4,955 family pays for very little.
The $110,729 family earns and saves money because that is its medium of exchange which it uses to obtain food, shelter and clothing. The $4,955 family uses money for luxury goods like televisions or sneakers. It doesn't need to save money because cash is just bonus points. Its necessities like food, medicine and shelter are covered by the social capital of the government. Sultan Knish: The Cloud Dwellers

There are no republicans and there are no democrats, it is the ruling class and the workers.

My father told me this tonight: The Republicans have not defended the Republic since Reagan, and the Democrats have not defended democracy since Carter.
I think the clock is further back on those times, but it is essentially true.

I think it goes back much further than that Jewel, Reagan talked a lot about the evils of government but if you look at his record as a president or when he was governor of Calf he liked growing government and taking away freedom.
I really think the crazy aint so crazy.
