63. It's not about being cynical, it's about results
Sun Jul 24, 2016, 08:20 AM
Jul 2016

To the billionaires who have title to so very much that they might also such a idea that they should be cynical in their agenda. Which just then turns me and you are mere numbers for them to play with. It is that trick they have used on us. The one to get us to where they have us thinking that you and me have little in common

I am dues paying Teamster for the 19 years (wish it could of been the forty i have in my trade) and hope to get at least at least another ten. My father was also in a few unions including teamsters but his employment didn't pan out as he had hoped. I use my hands and mind to make a living and not some calculation of how much i skim off of the other guys production

Also it's not that i don't have hope but more of way of needing to look at things at their most basic level like the ones playing the game against us. The establishment put Kennedy out because he would not play their game, every president since has towed their line. It just looks really that simple to me, but then again i guess you can call it with a pejorative (because it doesn't agree with what they want you to think IMO)
