When the economy crashed this last time (2008), an Africa American Woman who I work closely with, and consider a good friend...

Looked at me and asked, "Bill... are your people gonna be alright ???"

And I laughed hysterically, and gave her a one finger salute... and we both started giggling.

Point being...

She and her extended family have been dealing with this shit for YEARS.

They know where the thrift stores are, they know how to work the Underground Economy, they know which churches they can appeal to, etc....

And yet they survive.

She gave me a wink as she walked away, and said... "Well... we all N*****s Now !!!"

And again we both laughed.

I had know idea at the time, how correct she was.

guys should read the Biography of the Koch brothers and poppa Koch. There is some very interesting reading on their family and their beliefs. Poppa Koch hated communisn when he lived in Russia. The Koch brothers hate President Obama and think he is a Socialist. David Koch ran for vice President on the Libertarian ticket in 1980. One of his promises was to abolish Social Security and all Federal Government. So I think you guys have a point. You are under attack if the Koch Brothers can get their way. The media can go a long way in exposing what is behind the Republican cabal, if they just expose the Koch brothers and what they are up to. They have billions of dollars and they are using it for political purposes.

I was a teacher in Wisconsin until two years ago. I'm trying not to feel like a casualty in the class war, but here we are.
