Why can't we just spend money on good things for we the people?

You see, as the 2% slowly absorb more and more of the available wealth, they need us to marginalize a much larger group of people. So now ... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/Juniperx/18 Mon, 27 Jun 2011 10:58:49 I don't post at DU, or anywhere, on weekends. At 6pm on Friday, the computer is turned off and it doesn't come on again until Monday morning. I still have my BlackBerry if the boss needs me, but I am DU free on the weekends. I find I really do need the time away.
