One of my history teachers said that revolution arises from the middle class. They have the security and assets to fight for change. People living in poverty don't have the extra time or energy to start a revolution. So the rich are destroying the middle class, and keeping all of us in a pressure cooker of anxiety: jobs, health insurance, education, annihilation, mass murder, you name it. Even the middle class families who have their bases covered are too busy scrambling to keep what they have, they don't have time to get out and march.

God bless every person who finds the time, and in spite of weariness, fights for us.
