of everyone else. Looking at the overabundance of profits from financialization, and those many people on our payrolls who make sure it continues should give everyone pause.

But it won't, because most people really don't see those graphs as representing their lost opportunities for jobs, education, their very lives, the security of our nation. History tells us they won't, no matter how many people march in the street, until they can voice their own oppression. And that takes a space where they can explore what is sucking the life out of them.

Organize.
