A potentially angry mob

The nation's poverty rate rose to 15.1% in 2010, its highest level since 1993. About 46.2 million people are considered in need.

The government defines the poverty line as income of $22,314 a year for a family of four and $11,139 for an individual. The Office of Management and Budget updates the poverty line each year to account for inflation.

My, that's quite a large and potentially angry mob.

I'm willing to bet most aren't self restrained government-maimed Phi Beta Kappa graduates of colleges and descended from Roman officials that were assassinated and invaded by those families causing this economic attack.

Or that any were denied a job, high or low, from many, many attempts long before he ever opened his mouth.

I wonder what they'd do if they were me after watching two out of place fighters fly over their house seconds before their father fell to the ground dead ? That was after his new lawn mower made quite a noise a millisecond before the shut off bar was released, as if the area had been fired on by a new weapon.

Just thinking out loud what 46.2 million others would do, if they were in my position.
