Sep 2013

Detroit and other cities destroyed because stockholders and CEOs decided to move our jobs out of our country (but they still sell their crap here),

An economic crisis that doesn't seem to go away (except for the uber rich, lucky sperm club winners),

The worst economic crash since the last RepubliCON Great Depression,

Spiraling down wages and vast unemployment, and

An undeserved bailout for a bunch of crooks on Wall Street.

I could go on but sometimes I think I'm just screaming into the wind.
