They got it.
They said they wanted housing. They got furnished housing and subsidized rents for the poor.
They said they wanted healthcare. They got free healthcare, doctors, nurses, neighborhood clinics.
They said they wanted education. They got teachers, schools, and "missions" for grass-roots development programs in all the barrios.
They said they wanted a say in how the means of production are run. They got that and they got strong unions and labor rights.
They said they were tired of going to bed with empty bellies. They got state subsidized restaurants and state subsidized stores selling chicken, beef, and imported goods for the poor and the middle class.
And their elite is seething. Hoarding staples like toilet paper trying to get people to betray their own interests.
We said we wanted healthcare. We got an insurance scam.
We said we wanted housing. They gave our homes to the banks and protected the banks from our wrath.
We said we wanted to improve our schools. They're cutting them and firing teachers across the nation.
We said we wanted more nutritious food at an affordable price, we got bankrupt family farms replaced by huge agribusiness and its unlabeled GMOs.
We said we wanted peace. We got war, drones, war, missiles, mass surveillance and more fucking wars.
And our elite is absolutely rejoicing, while they throw Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian to distract and entertain us so they can jet around the world bathing in champagne from joy.
Their lackeys sleep well at night. They have no social conscience, except to pretend every 4 years that they do.
People like Samantha Powers sleep very well on their 1500 count Egyptian sheets at night. Their steady paycheck comes from serving the 1%.
