I am sick and tired.

[we can do it]

I am sick and tired of hearing how companies can't afford their workers while the assholes running them into the ground make exponentially more every year.
I am sick and tired of hearing how companies can't afford to pay for healthcare/benefits while the thieves running them steal pensions from those who have paid into them.
I am sick and tired of Social Security being derisively called an "entitlement" - we paid into it. It belongs to us. Not the rich thieving bastards who haven't been paying us for decades. I am sick and tired of union workers being called greedy....

[Cleita]

1. Gotta agree with you about all of that. n/t

[we can do it]

2. Wow, just read about rMoney and Bain and their foreclosure fraud and had enough.

[LiberalEsto]

3. K&R

[we can do it]

4. Thanks, and feel free to add anything I missed!

[polichick]

5. I'm sick and tired of "Democratic leaders" who enable all of it.

[we can do it]

7. Capital "D" or lower case?

[polichick]

8. Capital D. Corporatists in both parties fail to put the people first.

[ScreamingMeemie]

10. +1

[antigop]

11. +1000 nt

[woo me with science]

14. +100000

Republicans have been trying to do this for a long time, and the Democratic Party was what stood in their way.

What has changed is that corporate Democrats no longer stand in the way and instead have decided to join and assist the looting.

[NutmegYankee]

6. Amen to that! nt

[ErikJ]

9. And with Trillions sitting offshore.

[csziggy]

23. So they don't have to pay taxes...

[ReRe]

12. K&R

You and me too, we can do it. I am sick and tired of all those things and more. We all are. And we need to stand up and say so. Call a spade a spade. Call a spade a spade, regularly and often.

[we can do it]

17. Don't be afraid to speak up.

Defend the less fortunate whoever they may be.

[ReRe]

19. That's right...

... never ever pass up an opportunity to speak for the voiceless. Jog some minds into a thinking mode. But above all, always remember to be tactful about it.

The rescue mission home for men here in my community put out a PSA this week for coats, blankets, warm clothes, new socks and underware this week. I'm not real well, but I'm going to trundle out tomorrow and load up on socks, t-shirts and underware tomorrow and drop it off over there.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

13. It's the whole attitude that the People aren't in charge because they're just "the masses".

[woo me with science]

15. K&R Had enough yet, America?

They have been constructing an impressive police state for when we finally do.

[Earth_First]

21. Yes they have.

It won't end well.

[IrishAyes]

16. Stay sick and tired - and ANGRY - and we CAN do it.

[we can do it]

18. I am also sick and tired of women's health issues being decide by pathetic, controlling old men.

[riderinthestorm]

20. Righteous rant. Big K & R nt

[pnwmom]

24. Social Security is correctly called an entitlement because you are entitled to it

because you paid into it for decades.

We should not let the other side completely subvert the meaning of the word.

[we can do it]

25. Exactly.

[RebelOne]

32. I am sick and tired of people saying it is not an entitlement.

I am collecting it now. I paid into Social Security for over 45 years. That money is mine and I AM ENTITLED TO COLLECT IT.

[we can do it]

33. I agree that's why I said "derisively". It's ours damn it, not theirs to spend.

And I am a LIBERAL and FEMINIST- too bad if anyone doesn't like those words, too.

[liberal N proud]

26. Until we are prepared to do what our great grandparents did, nothing will change

Organized labor was the answer. Workers have to be prepared to strike against the companies who are doing this.

[we can do it]

27. This too! I think the ACA may help some people find a voice (and a spine!)

[Enthusiast]

28. You can thank the one sided media for this.

Most people aren't aware of the reason for their problems.

The media is telling them it is greedy teachers and other union workers. The media is telling them that the wealthy are job creators. The media is telling them that free trade deals are a net gain for the US. The media is telling them that social security is the driver of the deficit, never once mentioning two unpaid for counterproductive wars and massive tax cuts for the already rich. This is the narrative.

It is the media.

[we can do it]

31. True.

[CrispyQ]

29. I am sick & tired of the 1% exploiting the 99% & then calling us takers.

I am sick, sick, sick, sick, sick to death of predatory capitalism.

[we can do it]

30. Me too. And them calling us greedy for wanting to have basic needs met.

[Egalitarian Thug]

34. Agreed.

And I'm sick and tired of nominal Democrats supporting bad republican ideas while claiming to be liberal and hiding behind the notion that all opinions are equal and a "big tent" is justification for setting the tent on fire.
