This isn't something they planned recently. They've thought this out decades ago.

It's a small portion of the 1% who is actively gaming the system.
Get real.

This is obviously a pro-socialism, obozo inspired propaganda piece - just like the "life of julia", and the film about "stuff" that all college students are made to watch - brought to you by cass sunstien and the un depopulation crowd.

This is the article about the video going viral.
And here's the video...
So, if the article is accurate and this thing's on its way to being as influential as it seems like it could be, what's next? I mean, seriously, check out the video and you tell me if you think this isn't information that could really mess with the average hardworking person's ability to allow the status quo to persist in this nation.
But, short of eliminating the top 10% (definitely the top 1%) what's the answer? Tax cuts? "Free" market deregulation? Austerity measures inflicted on the bottom 80%?
And if so, are you ready for the bloodshed?
