34. They know how we feel

Sun May 5, 2013, 08:43 AM

May 2013

We have called; they are ignoring us. Then they are making sure we blame ourselves as you just did by not reporting any of it.

Let's get this straight; it's when people with money call that Congress moves. They look at our zip codes.

Not only are they ignoring our calls, they taking measures to make sure we don't get to vote.

You seem to think this "class war" is metaphorical. No, it's real, and there's one side doing the fighting and the other doing the losing.
