Oligarchies Fail the World

The oligarchies blame everything and everyone on the failure of the world’s financial system on big government, high taxes, unions, high wages, environmental laws, healthcare, Social Security and minimum wage, but the oligarchy capitalists are the people who have failed the world by their own greed. They shipped our jobs overseas to low wage countries, which has destroyed the buying power of the toilers.

They are hell bent on driving down the wages, such as the big box stores like WalMart and Target. Their policies have plotted to decrease the wage scale to the point where the wage slaves just accept this and have no extra money to buy extras or go on vacation. The capitalists also succeeded in protecting their interests by electing people who will not and did not enact financial laws that protect the financial system from greed and lawlessness. Again, the wage slaves are victimized by the 1 percent.

This is not the fault of the government system and the wage slaves. It is the people who have control of the money and they are not the 99 percent, in fact, it is the 1/10 percent of the 1 percent, the 1/10 of the 1 percent has so much money that they are just bored with their spending.

The oligarchies just want power and have started buying politicians and influencing the government process, which they have been very successful at this. Until they start running out of cash or are made to change thing -- things will be slow to change unless we make them.
We need to start rebuilding our infrastructure, pay down our debt, rebuild our armed forces and get our workers educated. Until we get rid of the temporary working force and get back to full-time jobs at 40 plus hours a week with good living wages, pensions and healthcare, we won’t regain the strength that our country is known for.

This spring the 99 percent must demand that the temporary jobs start going away and the oligarchies start hiring workers and paying them a living wage.

They'll Be Coming For All Of Us

Yes, they are coming for us. Workers need to have one another’s backs because no one else will. Neither the broader labor movement nor the Democratic party are prepared to meet the urgency of this moment. So it’s going to fall upon the rest of us to mount a real resistance against Trump’s authoritarian takeover. We’re going to have to get our hands dirty. I don’t care if you have a good, well-paying union job and you are in the middle class now—if you see a worker being dragged out of his workplace regardless of how skilled the job and potentially taken to another country, you should be ready to be there for that worker. When I.C.E. shows up, gather around and shame them into leaving. It has worked in other places. America is sleep walking into authoritarianism, and if there’s anyone out there who is a member of a labor union that is safe—at this point— and doesn’t think this applies to them. Understand that they just haven’t gotten to you yet. They’re coming for all of us. There are ...

Now is the Time to Prepare

I hope that I am wrong, but what I see at this time is our unions are going to be in the fight of their existence. This is the most perilous time of our life. The life we had is threatened like never before. Unions are the largest organized group of people who can save our country if things keep going the way they are heading at this time. We need to all stand together for power, but we each must prepare and plan to take care of ourselves and our families. We can fight the big fight and not be distracted by worry about things that can and should already be taken care of. For instance, stashing at least one month’s pay and at least a month or even a year’s worth of food, whether the food is staples (pasta, rice, canned goods) and meat or chicken in the freezer. Keep your vehicles' tanks full and if possible a gas can full. It’s in your best interest to also save money for house or rent payments plus extra. This is not new thinking for us old trade workers who had to prepare when...

GOP Doesn't Support Unions

It’s time for all union members to get rid of the union members and leaders who support the GOP and its Right to Work agenda. Trump, billionaires, the GOP, and the corporate people all hate unions and any union member who votes for these GOP candidates are just scabs who are not only riding on the backs of good hard working union people but also they are dragging their feet to keep the unions from moving forward. If these so called union people cannot see their way to vote and support people who fight and support unions then they should not vote or just get the hell out of our union labor because you are killing us by your foot dragging interference. All of our union people need to understand this is an ‘us against them’ situation and Trump and his anti union corporations are not your friend and if a union person thinks they are you are dumber than a post. Trump and the corporations do not care at all about you or your family. Once they have your vote you’re of no use to them. Trump’s ...
