Wealth Inequality in America 
I am very surprised, Frances, to see you promote Marxist propaganda like that.  I came to expect that out of Flattop on a regular basis, but my first impression of you was that you could/would recognize Marxist propaganda for what it really is: 

DELIBERATE distortion of historical reality, for the non-expressed purpose of convincing "useful idiot" voters that there exists some terrible social problem in our society, that needs to be remedied with the FORCE OF GOVT.  The unstated implications being that a dangerous problem exists in the first place, and that Govt, via the use of force to redistribute wealth from producers to non-producers, will solve the problem and create "social justice." 

No discussion whatsoever about the veracity of those unstated implications.  No pointing to what Govt in what era of history that has ever been able to improve the standard of living for all, by taxing away and redistributing the wealth of those who were actually producing new wealth in a society.  No discussion like that because it has never been done in the history of man.  And, of course, no discussion of how Govt policies over the years have made it harder and harder for the average citizen to get ahead and climb that wonderful income quintile ladder.

In every case, where the politicians and bureaucrats have had the hubris to assume they can engage in OFFENSIVE FORCE against any of its citizens -- for the "crime" of success -- as a way of improving on the highest possible standard of living for all (that comes only from a Free-Market Capitalist economic system), they have only made things worser.  No Govt has ever been able to tax and regulate a nation into prosperity.  It only mucks things up and makes them worser, whenever it interferes in any Free-Market place.

If enuf suckers fall for a propaganda video like that, what Political Party or what kind of Politicians would you expect to reap most of the benefits, in terms of votes to put and keep them in power?

We both know that it will be the Far-Left, Marxist/Fascist Dems, who will gain at least 90% of the advantage, from that kind of M/F propaganda.  And that means they will keep expanding the force and power of Govt over us and that our standard of living will be forced into a long-term decline, PRECISELY AS HAS HAPPENED, in the last few years in this Country, which is now afflicted with the tyranny of a Hard-Core M/F dictator.

So, my question is, why would you help promote their false and evil propaganda?
