exemplifies the cycle of poverty.

To a republican, poor people are lazy, don't want to get an education, and are supposedly content working a minimum wage job... God forbid they also get a welfare check to support their family. Perhaps they should listen to this song.

Talkin' About a Revolution is also another Tracy Chapman song which would be quite apt for the 99%.

on occupying the consciousness that
they have been trying to control from
the last decade of fear, media consolation and control of
the populace...... damn........no music in that decade
on clear channel?...............that controls the music that is played? .......SORRY FOLKS, MEDIA CONSOLATION DIE THAT.

Some are not longer asleep.... great link

My daughter said they younger ones now
