to keep from upsetting the corporatists.

Rather than putting the burden on our "capitalist" society to insist on an economic environment that would create the jobs, the burden is shifted to those who are already burdened with a reduction in their standard of living because of the attitudes of those corporatists.

We have no direction, no national interest (other than some fake wars on shit), just a wandering in whatever path provides the most profit to private interests.

It's all bullshit. Where the hel is FDR when we need him? Or Teddy R to break up the trusts? Or the big labor organizers? Or a new Pecora commission?

How about some f'n taxes on the people and corporations that are sitting on our capital?

Meanwhile we can help out our brothers while we fix the problems that put them where they are.

It's awfully tiresome seeing big buildings with "For Lease" signs in front of them and a fake phone number cause the corp that owns them gets more benefit from keeping them empty than actually employing people to make them operational. Meanwhile walmart is full of crap from somewhere else, Samsung and LG are coming out my ears, and I can't find a decent toaster. And those same rich people are waiting for us little people to run out of money so they can steal our art museums.
