...give me hope for the World.
In many Latin American countries, they have taken their government BACK from their 1% in near bloodless Ballot Box revolutions.
THEY have given US a successful Blue Print for "CHANGE".
When the Working Class & The Poor realize WE have more in common with each other
than we have in common with the Ruling Elite 1% and their paid employees in Washington,
THEN we can have "CHANGE" too!
[font size=3]"The worst enemy of humanity is U.S. capitalism. That is what provokes uprisings like our own, a rebellion against a system, against a neoliberal model, which is the representation of a savage capitalism. If the entire world doesn't acknowledge this reality, that nation states are not providing even minimally for health, education and nourishment, then each day the most fundamental human rights are being violated."[/font]

The above sounds pretty radical, but it isn't.
FDR said much the same thing in 1944 with his
Economic Bill of Rights.
At one time, voting FOR The Democrat
was voting FOR those values.
Sadly, this is no longer true.
But those values
resonated with most of America not so long ago,
and if you talk to individuals about the particular issues,
most American agree with the values as expressed by FDR in his Economic Bill of Rights.
Those values CAN resonate again with the right leadership.
VIVA Democracy!
I pray we get some here soon!
"If ye love wealth better than liberty,
the tranquility of servitude
better than the animating contest of freedom,
go home from us in peace.
We ask not your counsels or your arms.
Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you.
May your chains set lightly upon you,
and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen."
-Sam Adams
