How to get them to pay attention
I sometimes feel so incredibly frustrated, I get so frustrated that I have NO voice in this country. We could have a HUGE voice, if we would just organize. We could do a boycott of buying for the next two weeks. It would show the corporations and wealthy that they NEED us to have money to buy their Made IN China crap. But the naysayers say we can't do it. Even people here have a million reasons that we cannot or should not do this. They say we cannot get everyone to do it. It will hurt the little guys. It that is true, and you want to buy, buy from the little guys. Buy Made in America. We have a voice, if we would stop being afraid to use it!!

1. What you are saying is true.. this is the story that has played out time and again over the ages...
..It's the wealthy against the workers. The land owners against the beaten-down slaves.

The domination of the few who control the acepted currency ...against the people who give their lives, day to day, to struggle to survive.

Money is nothing more than x's and o's on a compuer screen. The real crime.. is how the elite treat their fellow man who must live by he rule of the dollar.

The wealthy "create" dolars with no effort. Everyone else must supply sweat and labor.
