(1,451 posts)We seem to have become a Nation that has just plain lost respect for humanity. Yes people can take care of themselves. But as we learn better shouldn't we do better?? We have learned that if a person makes 12.25 per hour they could rise above the poverty level. that's for a single person. It doesn't say anything about extras, just basic needs. Food, clothing and shelter. With health care for all. you could get an even start in America. At what point did we become the Nation that advocates for people to go hungry.??? Tell Americans with citizenships that are four and five generations of blood, sweat, and tears, that they deserve to be poor. Where wealthy Bankers, and Lenders can literally rob the Taxpayers by pocketing and losing all of their hard earned pensions, homes, retirement funds, jobs, and the middle, and working class way of life.
It just truly messed up when you have just a few people who want all the fucking marbles. Do they realize when they have them all there will be no one who will want to play with them. which forces them to play with themselves???
When is enough, Enough ?
I remember when then President Ronald Reagan and his cronies were standing in front of a bank of microphones saying Uniions were bad. And a puglet in the background shouting " down with unions." And Ronald Reagan firing Patco members. And knew it was something cold on the way. Even when planes were falling out the sky he didn't give a fuck. This has been a Country that has always prided itself in Free Labor.; If they can't have it here, they will take your jobs where they can damn near get it FREE. Like China, as Mitt Rmoney says has these factories with beds right on the work site so workers can take a rest. He was touring a forced labor camp and acted as if he was at a state of the art facility. And they say who is acting like they have a sense of Entitlement?????
