Re: the End of Isonomy in USAmerica (none / 1)
As the middle class dies, the group with lateral isonomy shrinks, and with it the population with a stake in the legal status quo.  The Ueberklass is in a race against time, trying to reduce somewhere north of 50% of the population to serfdom before everyone takes to the streets and breaks out the Mussolini meathooks.

One of the major problems in USAmerica is that too many people think of themselves as "temporarily embarrassed millionaires" since the American Dream became winning the lottery.  Voters with little money are convinced to identify with the filthy rich and thus manipulated into political, social, and economic irrelevance.

Tell me about it.  No one wants to admit they're far closer to that homeless guy on the corner than they are to any millionaire.  Between rags-to-riches delusions and the "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge" attitude that has prevailed since the Jacksonian Revolution, this country has been on a collision course with reality for two centuries.
