America- The Revolt of the Little People
The Revolt of the Little People
The re-election of a president, who has led the nation into one of the worst economic crises in our history, is a wake-up call for citizens on both sides of the political divide. If the election proved one thing, it’s that we’ve now crossed the threshold into class warfare. That’s the good news. The bad news is that there’s only one way that this can end, and that’s very badly.
If the election had just been about the president’s record, he no doubt would have lost. However, the election wasn’t about his record. Instead, it was a referendum on this nation and what it has become – a country of haves and have-nots. A nation of equality we are no longer; rather, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.
In this election, the president was viewed as being the champion of Carl-Henric Svanberg’s little people and Mitt Romney… well you know who he champions. It’s not that the president actually represents the little people, but compared to Romney…well, there is no comparison. Therefore, the little people voted with their hearts and not their pocketbooks.
When the little people get angry, there is hell to pay. Down through history, revolution was all but inevitable in many cases, just ask the Russians and the French. However, we the people need to realize that in a republic, such as ours, government is never a solution to problems (rather it’s a self-governing instrument of the people). Neither does government have any money of its own – we the people create the wealth of the nation. Therefore, it doesn’t help the situation when one class of people, in effect, vote themselves hand-outs from the government. Hand-outs don’t grow on trees and they don’t come from the government either.
What we have inherited now is a polarized nation and, in the long run, the republic cannot survive as such. We have to decide whether we are going to continue as a free nation or whether we’re going to gradually descend into either anarchy and/or rule by the elite. No matter how it turns out, it is destined to be remembered as the Revolt of the Little People.

Kerry Budget may be slashed by €1.32 million
This week it emerged that the government has warned it may slash Kerry County Council’s budget by as much as €1.32 million for the rest of the year, due to under-payment of the household charge. That will cause a serious reduction in the council’s ability to provide services in housing and roads, environmental services and more.
That’s bad enough. What’s worse is that the axe won’t discriminate: those who dutifully paid up – the silent majority – will be hit just as hard as those who didn’t.�
About 18,000 households in Kerry haven’t registered to pay the household charge, according to the latest figures. The remaining 40,000 or so who did register to pay – who did not break the law, in other words – will have to brace themselves for reduced services anyway. Pay or don’t pay, the results are the same: cuts to the services we’re entitled to. ��
