The strategy of the GOP oligarchies is to control the governments from the local level to the state to the federal level and the U.S. Supreme Court. Their biggest and most effective weapon is money, which they have the most of, and everyone knows, unfortunately, money equals power. The 99 percent working people have more people than the 1 percent, which means the Have Nots have their own kind of power.
The people’s only chance to add money to their strategy is through unions and their members paying dues and this is why the GOP is so hell bent on destroying the means of unions collecting dues from union members. Using tactics like Right to Work laws in states and laws that let workers be in a union without paying dues, yet receiving all the union benefits. So the union members who do pay their dues are supporting the benefits of the non-paying members. It is easy to see how this is working out for the money strategy on both sides—union and GOP.
Right to Work has nothing to do with the right to work, it is just about money, and workers not having to pay dues, which would give unions some money to add to their only power—people. This is one of the reasons for the $15 to $18 an hour minimum wage increase needs to happen. Not only would this be good for the workers and boost the consumer-driven capitalist economy system, which spending represents about 67 percent. It would also bring more union members into the people’s fold to increase the people and money for a better chance of winning the inequality war between the Have Alls and Have Nots. You must understand yourself and understand your enemy.
Remember this prime truth that all evil is caused by the exploitation of the proletariat by the capitalists. Power also comes from organization of people who have religious ideas and want power to propagate their beliefs. They form a church of people to follow their political ideas and want the power to put them into practice. They organize and call it a religion, but it’s really a political party.
Organization equals people which equals power which equals money which equals winning.
The $15 to $18 an hour minimum wage, free education, free healthcare and hopefully a pension for when you’re old and worn from making money for the 1 percent. Can you see why the oligarchies do not want you to have all these things? If you had all this, not only would it close the inequality gap, but it would also make you independent from their abuses as your boss.
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...
