11. Combine THAT number with the number of Americans...
...who are Under-Employed,
those forced to accept Low Paying Jobs with no or few benefits,
and you would approach and accurate representation of the damage our Politicians and Wealthy Overlords have done to the American Working Class over the last 30 years.

In the 50s/60s/70s, a non-college educated Blue Collar Working American could:

*Enjoy long term job security, and advance within a company, even up to management

*Earn enough to raise a family in relative comfort

*Provide good Health Care to the family

*Buy a new American car every few of years

*Buy and Pay Off a comfortable home in the suburbs

*Take a REAL vacation every year

*Send his children to the State University without going into debt

*Save enough to retire in relative comfort

The above was The NORM, not the exception.


We could have the above again,
IF we had a political party that represented the Working Class.




Who will STAND UP and FIGHT for THIS American Majority?
Lofty Rhetoric, Empty Promises, and Excuses are meaningless now.

"By their WORKS you will know them,"
And by their WORKS they will be held accountable.
