Corporate profits and turning us into a nation of easily controlled cheap labor is the root of it all.

Why do they want to cut social security? Why do they want to keep health insurance out of reach for the poor? Why do they want to eliminate minimum wage? Why do they want to perpetuate a failing educational system? It’s all to keep us uneducated and desperate enough to work for starvation wages so the wealthy can extract more wealth from the masses.

The majority of their supporters are too stupid or unwilling to open their eyes and realize the truth of the situation.
