The oligarchs require a government with tremendous power of law enforcement to control the anger of the people. More GOP controlled state legislatures are working to suppress local progressive victories, such as living wage ordinances, filling private prisons with poor or undocumented people. They are engineering retirement crisis by moving workers to inadequate 401Ks. The GOP is once again taking away rights of consumers and workers to bring grievances to court by making workers sign forced arbitration agreements. They are gutting the public education system to keep people ignorant because they’re more likely to vote for GOP lies. The GOP will even refuse children clean water as they’ve been doing in Flint, Michigan for going on five years now.
James Buchanan says people who failed to foresee and save money for their future needs are to be treated as subordinate members if the species akin to animals who are dependent on others. He says this without factoring in the wage discrepancy and inequality. In essence, he’s punishing the people for being victims of GOP policies and greed while ignoring that that the rich have much more than the poor. Today, the fact that three men have more wealth than 160 million Americans should make all Americans angry.
If you do not have an education, healthcare and retirement personally funded by being a lobbyist or inheriting from daddy then you are regarded as less than human by the GOP.
Now with American Legislative Exchange Council (A.L.E.C) acting on behalf of the Koch brothers are pumping money into judicial races. This could prove to be worse than Citizens United. They will interpret the U.S. Constitution in ways that will not favor the workers. These judges will rule in ways to control the people and prevent them from shutting down the government as a way to beat down the people and force them to the will of government.
Can the people stand up to this kind of pressure? Maybe the people need to take to the streets just like the teachers did in Los Angels, but this time it would be all government workers and private contractors who work for the government. Maybe the air traffic controllers can get a good union back. Remember what Ronald Reagan did to them after their union supported him? Is it time for the streets yet?
The teachers got it done and showed the power is with the people who go to the streets. Now is the time for workers to let the government know it is not working for the people, the government is working for the Trump billionaire club and we’re tired of it.
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...
