(135,425 posts)That single-issue focus will be the undoing of their efforts, I think.
I am reminded of a living American hero, John Lewis, shot down by a bunch of twinklefingers when he asked to speak to the OCCUPY Atlanta group. Talk about short-sighted tunnel vision! This American hero isn't any better than US--waaaah!
There's a whole host of things we need to talk about--not just millionaires (who aren't going to stand still while their pockets are picked, and who are unlikely to vote against their own self-interests, either....and how many millionaires are in Congress? I think it's probably easier to ask how many Senators aren't worth a million or more...).
But so long as those millionaires and billionaires are taking up all the air in the room, there's no room for "lives that matter" or anything else--sure, they'll get lip service because they demanded it, but it's still all about the money. Big sigh, I guess.
