LordJiro: And when the ruling classes get too cocky, and let their distaste for the "poors" dictate their policy, it never ends well.
It does if you make sure to disarm the poors and then provide enough bread and circuses to keep them distracted.
You could keep them under foot for centuries, even.

Of course, if you really screw over the Germanic mercenaries you've recently hired to "keep the peace", they may decide to come after you...

Feral_and_Preposterous: Funny, considering the poor employed people are the ones the rich mooch of. The rich and the unemployed poor all mooch off the working class. Fark the rich moochers with the poor moochers' dicks.
That'd be true if the rich didn't provide them with all of the tools, factories, and materials for them to use in their work. Then, they buy their goods.
Yet the poor still complain until they get handouts. Maybe that's why the rich look down upon them.

contrast that with a secretary we had, se was paid well, was very intelligent, but had no self control at all, she ran up so much debt grabbing junk she didn't really need that she ended up declaring bankruptcy twice in the 15 years we worked there. Once she came to me with a sob story about how her car had broken down and it was going to cost so much to fix that she couldn't afford groceries that week, I felt sorry for her and gave her 100 bucks and a ride home, on the way she asked to stop at the store, she came out with some cheap bread, lunch meat, milk and two cartons of cigarettes (for her and her husband, a four day supply she said) I wanted to strangle her, I smoke (pipe and cigars) but when I first opened my shop I went without until it became profitable (about 3 months) I could have probably afforded to buy some earlier, but until I was sure my savings would outlast the new shop cash outlay imbalance I held off so I knew I wouldn't need that money.

Yes, you're going to be rich one day, sweetie.

ghare: You walk around saying to treat the poor as humans, and that they deserve to live with some dignity, you're gonna get your hippy ass nailed to a tree.

If only the rich could figure out a way to cut out those greedy moochers entirely.

Don't use logic on fark, it will get you nowhere.

Probably not, but well-off isn't all that difficult to pull off.
ph0rk: If only the rich could figure out a way to cut out those greedy moochers entirely.
Simply put, that's stupid. Who's going to make all the things? Now, if we could find a decent way to get rid of the full-on moochers and keep the ones that work, that'd be different. Unfortunately, that'd just drive the cost of labor up.
Gentoolive: Don't use logic on fark, it will get you nowhere.
Well, duh. The rich are patently evil and deserve nothing. That's well known. Unless that rich person was Steve Jobs. He's basically all that is good and holy to farkers.

historynow11: I think Mel Brooks discussed this in the "documentary," History of the World Part I.
"The peasants are revolting!"
