Hi, I see this as the same movement we had as kids in the 60's. Thing is, it's not war or Nixon's insecurities, but still the establishment. Have any of you read "WHO RULES AMERICA?" Oh, we had

Hi, I see this as the same movement we had as kids in the 60's. Thing is, it's not war or Nixon's insecurities, but still the establishment. Have any of you read "WHO RULES AMERICA?" Oh, we had to read it in High School to be prepared for this and other fiascos that the rich play on the middle class fools. Give me your tired, your poor. Your huddled masses waiting to be fleeced. Between the stock junkies, the big pharm, and the greedy politicians, you will die as poor as when you came, and that will be an achievement. Sorry kids. This is where we live and believe it or not, it's the best the world today has to offer. Bless you if you can find a better way. |

Automation--technology has taken many jobs away even if some mfg comes back here it won't be enough. You have to have people with pocket-money to buy the goods and wages have been too low for decades. The population of the world is growing with the USA and China leading the way. YET no one speaks of halting immigration even for a time or wanting to subsidize Planned Parenthood cause truth is ... we have too many people for too few "good" jobs and it has been building up to this point. The ones who have the power have tried to defeat UNIONS so wages are kept low. Notice how the corporate Media channels features a family of 19 as if it's something to be proud of. Also, the birth of babies. To destroy Planned Parenthood will keep population large enough so there are many desperate people coming along looking for work and thus non-negotiable wages.

I'm an optimist however, and I believe that this broken system can be fixed! But NOT by the establishment and the people it bought! |
