Speaking of Plunder

In response to Diana Thorn’s letter “Planned Chaos,” I can only slap my forehead. Disruption and chaos planned by none other than President Obama? A dark and dangerous conspiracy where the “have nots” plunder from the “haves”?

It is utterly delusional to brand as a “dangerous conspiracy” this largely non-violent groundswell of protest against rampant Wall Street bankster corruption, high unemployment, and further tax cuts for the wealthy at the expense of seniors and the less fortunate. I think the real conspiracy lies in the intent of the far right to dissolve the middle class and set up a 19th Century-style fiefdom where there are simply the “haves” and the “have nots,” with a Dickensian vacuum in between.—Mike Mullins, Carpinteria
