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.

It's Time To Pick A Side

It’s time to pick a side. You want to have and keep unions with good wages and pensions, then it’s time to pick a side. You want to keep Social Security for yourself and family, it is time to pick a side. You want to get or keep Medicare and Obama’s Affordable Care Act, then it’s time to pick a side. It is us against the billionaires. The very rich got that way off the backs of workers, and now want to strip everything away from those workers. It’s time to pick a side. The very rich can buy countries, then make the people get on their hands and knees and grovel and beg for scrapes that usually go into the dumpster. It’s time to pick a side. Is this what we want for our family and our future? It’s time to pick a side. Get ready to fight for you and your families’ lives. There is no middle ground with these greedy people for they want it all—all the money—all the power—all the land so where does this leave us when they have all the commons, like water, land and airways? It’s time to pick...

Time for an Offense

There are three phases of a general strike and unions must plan for one. Those three phases are: 1. general strike in an industry 2. general strike in a community 3. general national strike We need to move away from being on the defensive and move toward a good offensive. The American Federal of Labor (AFL) could not have held a general strike if it wanted to because they had thousands of different contracts that expired at different times of the year. This was done deliberately so that there is no consolidation of power for a general strike. Also, nowadays, there is no law agency that will support labor, except the National Labor Relations Board (NLBR), which has been under attack and in decline for years. This leaves the burden of change up to unions, and unless unions work together, little will change. We essentially have a combination of job trusts, which are not as strong as contracts, and the courts can break easily because the NLBR will be further weakened and essentially elim...

Senator Bernie Sanders & Team

The AFL is with Senator Bernie Sanders and it is the people’s only chance to push back against Elon Musk, who wants to dismantle our government. Musk family is said to have left South Africa because they could no longer exploit The native/black Africans so he bought Trump and now he’s laying waste to America in the name of progress. With Senator Sanders’ leadership and backing of all labor unions, we could put together the whole of 99 percent of the people and beat back the 2 percent destroying we what once had and stood for while also saving Social Security, healthcare for all, elder care, child care, while working on the climate change crisis (we are running out of time, as the weather is showing us). The workers need to go big, such as a four-day work week like other countries have; universal basic income (UBI) and Medicare for all for unhoused people, which would help get them off the streets. UBI goes right back into the local economies, which supports jobs for the other working p...
