(27,731 posts)Ok all of you "young Folks" what do you want?
Do you want to change the system, then my answer is to start at the bottom, run for the school board, council seats, mayors, sheriffs office, legislature, in your state, go to council meetings go your state and federal representatives band your collective talent together since you are the age of electrical and social means, you people have more power than you realize, we want to hand this off to you but also remember we want to help you very much, we know what is at stake, and to continue down this path of what is perceived as taking advantage of you is totally missing the point, this is what the oligarchy people want to have you think and have this act of complaining to keep the distraction going , and if you fail remember this it took us, my generation over 40 years to get what we wanted and we also were taken advantage of, and it was done with greed and a corrupt judicial system starting at the very top which is making this country and your values obsolete because of hypocrisy and outright greed, fraud, corruption starting at the very top in the U.S. Supreme Court, money is not speech, money is corruption, and they are winning, think Citizens United, what a oxymoron statement people united, its not people, its people with lots of money and there greed.
People have got to come and realize that its about the U.S. Supreme court and who is in office and who appoints federal and state judges.
These five justices take cases and tweak the edges of the law, but there rulings have devastating effects, just think of them re-visiting the ACA again right after an election, over 5 million people will be affected, this was not happenstance but a coordinated plan to see who won this mid-term, they go to these Koch funded events and they take gifts, what is wrong with this picture.
And now we are holding those we entrusted with your values and they ran to the right wing fear machine, because
they did not hold to there values, there core beliefs of fundamentally right for everyone, they ran away from the values.
And if a right winger reads this blog and see what is being said they are telling themselves (right wing hypocrites) they are succeeding
in there mission and my answer is to take out billboards, write letters to the editor, get a combine group together to speak out about these issues make your voice heard on the right dominated radio and television
