They're taking back the things that bought off the Working Class now we're dumbed down enough for control via our mammalian core.
We're baited with sex, acquisition and violence well-seasoned with free-floating fear of the boogeyman du jour
which channels our energy into addictive consumption and the sacrifice of our children in their rule-the-world wars.
It's a self-reinforcing habit financed by "cheap" credit pushed at us by charge card pimps turning us out to use more
of a drug so addictive We the People and America stand ragtime on the corner like a ten-dollar whore.
Note to non-producing "Upper" Classes: Payback is a bitch! And you just might get what it is you've been asking us for.
Do the words "American Revolution" mean anything to you but a slick pickup truck ad or not any more?
