Mass protests in France, over the government handing billions of dollars to the same idiots who are responsible for the economic crisis, (Sound familiar?); thousands of workers in Kiev demanding job protection and unemployment benefits; fears of violent protests in China; Bank of America joins with other large corporations to block the Employee Free Choice Act, with OUR money in their pockets and their vaults. So what do Americans do? The UAW accepts a ban on strikes or other job actions, workers lose Trillions in retirement benefits so we cut back on Starbucks and we say give Obama a chance.
As hundreds of thousands of American workers are given the boot, we barely complain.
What’s going on? Are Americans so whipped that we will continue to allow OUR government to give Hundreds of BILLIONS, even TRILLIONS of OUR DOLLARS, to the same companies who have been raping us for decades?
Our government has never done "the right thing" for average citizens unless they were forced. If we wait and see about Obama, over 2 TRILLION Dollars of OUR money will be transferred to the rich and we will be out of work and on the street.
Have we become so well socialized that we can no longer fight, or at least protest, for our livelihoods, our homes, our families?
Please, cut back on the Prozac. Do it slowly, but cut back. Put away the pot. Don’t worry, you can quit cold-turkey, I did. Turn off your TV and log off the 12 blogs you monitor. We got to do something and we got to do it now!
