"our ship is sinking"
it sucks to hear boston is dropping the ball, hopefully they'll find their voice. the LA protests were a little bit more organized.
these days, anybody who was born a commoner and thinks they can claw their way up to the top is seriously delusional. our tax code is biased completely in favor of the 1% of america (corporations and the super rich).
i have a masters and can't find work in my field, but i'm fortunate to be doing ok monetarily. i still go out and protest a few days a week since the 2nd. i've been asked why the poor aren't protesting. really? the poorest of the poor and the lowest of the low can't be at the protests. they're working multiple jobs, working long hours, and bringing home substandard wages. who else is going to protest? thank allah for the protesters.
globalization is a corporate scam that is killing our middle class. stop exporting jobs.
high earners need to pay more than they are in taxes, at least for now. save the middle.
low earners need to take initiative and stop being a drag on the system.
but it's going to take more angry people to make the government listen. i'm part of the 99%, and so can you.
