11. Reich is RIGHT.

Great minds think alike.

<from July, 2013>
The Downward Trend for America's Working Class continues, unchecked.

The organized STEALING of the last bits of wealth from America's Working Class continues.
In fact, it IS accelerating.

50% of Working Americans NOW make less than $27,000/Yr.

Right now, forty percent of Americans make less than the minimum wage from 1968.

These things ^ do NOT happen by accident.
They take careful planning, preparation, marketing, buying the right politicians, message control, courts packed with Corporate Rights Judges, and the marginalization and suppression of any opposition or dissent.
(SEE: OWS)

This trend is also unsustainable.
That is WHY the 1% is urgently building the Surveillance/Security State,
and changing the laws to make "dissidents" (those who challenge Government Authority) the same as "terrorists",
because when the Working Class & The Poor realize how badly they have been screwed by BOTH Political parties,
they are going to need it.

Raising the Minimum Wage is a laughable (in a sick sense) Token gesture,
as are the claims of creating new jobs (low wage, no benefits McJobs).
Despite the claims coming out of Washington, there IS NO "RECOVERY" for those of us who live on Main Street.
The Fast Tracked TPP (NAFTA on Steroids) will make it WORSE,
and those pushing it KNOW THAT,
and apparently do NOT care.
(Well, they "care" enough to try to keep the Working Class from finding out the depth of this betrayal by keeping it "secret&quot


But... Wall Street breaks RECORDS,
