Panama Papers Expose Greed

Why would billionaires feel they need to steal and hide money from the 47 percent from the Have Littles when the Have Littles have nothing in comparison? Is greed a sickness? If this is a class war then why do we, the Have Littles, keep sending out sons and daughters to war to protect the 1 percents assets the world over? It should be obvious to the Have Littles that the 1 percent do not care about their countries, and do not want to pay their share in taxes, but they want us to spill our blood and forfeit our lives to protect their interests and corporations. Do you think the poor in these countries benefit in any way by all this money is being hoarded in their countries? With the exposed murky world of shell companies by the Panama Papers, we can see the evidence of just how wealthy oligarchies conceal their money. Twelve current and former world leaders maintain offshore shell companies and we, here in the U.S., will find out who is not paying their taxes to support our country and pay for the privilege of living here--using our Commons for free. These freeloaders should lose their citizenship and their right to do business if they want to stash their money in a foreign country. They should live in the country where their money is residing and let that country protect them, their families and their money and not the U.S. The workers of the world need to take back our countries and do what is best for us and our planet. The days of oligarchies and corporations raping and pillaging and then running off to another country to repeat the carnage are about to end. The sun is shining on them and it is getting very hot. The U.S. election could very well be the tipping point one way or the other if we elect Bernie Sanders, who understands what is happening and what is at stakes. He warned us years ago this crap coming out of the Panama Papers would happen if the government approved the Panama Trade Agreement. If the U.S. election goes to Hillary Clinton, who favored the Panama Trade Agreement, our situation will get worse in 2016. She is part of the establishment and as secretary of state she persuaded Haiti government to reduce the garment workers’ wage increase to 61 cents an hour down to 31 cents for her American corporate friends. She also supported the immoral Iraq and Libya invasions, and the coup in Honduras. Sanders is our best chance to crawl out of this inequality and regain out rights to our Commons and save our planet. Your vote counts--at least for a while until the oligarchies, national corporations, Wall Street, big banks and corrupt politicians figure out a way to completely rig the system against the citizens, as they’ve been trying to do for years, little-by-little chipping away at our electoral process. They have much more to lose than we do so they will go to any lengths to keep what they have, but what they don’t realize is that their greed is blinding them to the fact that there are more of us than them and if we all rise up for what’s right, they can lose what they treasure. Next week, we’ll find out who in the U.S. is in the Panama Papers, but with our current political corruptions I’m not holding my breath that anything legal action will be done to them since the big banks got away with screwing over the economy, current political corruptions at our polling places have gone unpunished while Icelanders demanded and got their leader to resign over his involvement in this scandal.

May Day 2028 or Sooner

Unions’ long game is to get all union contracts to expire on the same day nationwide. The United Auto Workers combines contracts ends on April 28, 2028. This could then result in a mass national strike starting on May Day beeginning that year. This could then put enormous pressure on employers, but also on lawmakers. It’s the muscle and sweat of the workers that keeps this country great, not the individual company or corporations. This May Day strike would be the time to change the workers’ world for the better by negotiating for a 32-hour week with the same pay, and the U.S. adopts a healthcare for all with no out of pocket costs. This would also help the employers as they would no longer have to provide healthcare. By striking, the UAW won same pay for new workers, all UAW contracts will end on the same date, a 25-percent pay increase, a cost of living adjustments, a guaranteed right to strike over potential plant closures, and also the right to vote to unionize through the card che

Standing At The Precipice

Unions do not do well in a dictatorship because unions are the first thing dictators destroy, and rest assured the workers won’t be allowed to hit the streets in protest. If Trump is elected he will invoke the Insurrection Act and send troops into the cities to crush them and send a message that he will terminate and dissent. They will eliminate unions and unionized workers. We are standing at the precipice and it's up to us to fight the fall into a dictatorship. By voting for the GOP, maga people and anyone else will be able to keep their guns until Trump says, “No.” By then, he will have already amassed an Army of foot soldiers in place to take over the government jobs. They will be Trump’s people and they will do whatever he tells them to do. The only way this can be stopped is for all unions and their members to put aside their political and social differences and stand strong for democracy, unions, workers rights and workers safety. This is not a drill. It will happen just loo

“Workampers” are the New IWW Wobblies

We now have another organization that will enhance the wage pollution for the wage slaves. Walmart started the wage pollution and then temporary agencies, which offer no healthcare or pensions, just temporary low wages. Now we have the online U.S. retail business, which did $197 billion in 2011. The workforce that does the work in these hundreds of warehouses are called “workampers.” Amalgamated advertises positions on websites that workampers frequent. This is just a modern version of what the old Wobblies had to do in the 1920s and ‘30s; only then, instead, of traveling from place to place living in trailers and motorhomes they rode railroad freight cars and camped in hobo camps called the Jungle, which we still have. The reason that the warehouse owners like workampers is they are temporary and will not stay year round that way by not staying in one place the workers do not have time to make friends, which could start unions. This is an old way to keep unions out for if people w
