42. When we have more people living in the streets more will speak out
at the moment they have most Americans working their bums off (if they have a job) just to keep up. Min Wage should have been 10 an hour a decade ago. I was in Australia as I watched congress in the 90's over and over give themselves a pay raise but not touch minimum wage. Who were they? Mostly the GOP!

We lose our democracy the moment we lose our educated middle class - and that is exactly what they want. Cannot fight or protest if you are to busy trying to survive and to afraid of losing your job.

Sad state of affairs that isnt getting any better until Corporate money is removed from our elections and when corporations are no longer considered individuals that can do whatever they like from murder to eco-terrorism. As long as they have the $$ to buy themselves out of jail.
