The overclass has produced far less than it has taken and destroyed far more than it has created.
The overclass is the cohort in both government and ostensibly private enterprise who derive their sustenance directly or indirectly from government in exchange for goods or services. It consists of the relatively small group who rule, and the much larger group, numbering in the millions, whose defining characteristic is that government is the source of their compensation. For analytic clarity, this group does not include people who receive money from government (e.g. Social Security, AFDC) that is not salaries.
The overclass includes the massive administrative state, the military, intelligence, government contractors, much of public and private academia, many nongovernmental organizations and foundations, parts of the mainstream media, much of the scientific and medical establishments, and state and local governments. A substantial chunk of the $11 plus trillion that all levels of government will spend this year, an estimated 38.12 percent of the GDP, will flow into these pockets (figures from usdebtclock.org).
The underclass consists of that group who work in non-government related private enterprise. Their output must satisfy a market test—someone has to be willing to pay more for it than the cost of the inputs used to generate it. This is a crucial distinction between the underclass and overclass, who are not subject to this market test.
This is a cluster P _ _ _K of Communist collective nazi agencies all working against the American citizens of this country to kill and destroy them. In looking at the list, I can safely state that 3/4 of those useless agencies can be eliminated and or scaled back by 75% of people and budgeted dollars. this would save the U.S. government trillions of dollars over a short period.
Raconteur Report: O Please, O Please, O Please…
Some smart guy said “A government big enough to give you all you ask, is big enough to take it all away ”
Might have been Reagan.
For example social security came from the Socialist FDR as did FDIC bank deposit insurance.
The EPA grew into a monster protecting us from Love Canal (you know the flammable water source for a few cities).
Might have been Reagan Who also said “Keep on voting Democrat, they will enslave you ” or words to that effect.
Folks WE Allowed this engulfing blob of a government. By voting OR not voting .
We chatter about resistance, yet I BET some 99% of us paid our taxes.
While it’s fun to call them names and chatter about how much we outnumber them. Seems tomorrow they will again show how “Scared ” they are by doing the same and more.
Saying “I’m gonna or we’re gonna ” means we’re done WHAT recently.
TINVOOT that.
VOTE; 308 & FREEDOM
That is my only vote.
I second that motion with extreme prejudice.
