42. Give me a break.
Edited on Fri Apr-01-05 01:05 AM by Tierra_y_Libertad
My father came from Arkansas as an "Okie" immigrant to California. He worked a variety of manual labor jobs, then as a stevadore in the ILWU, and fought company goons in San Francisco.

My mother was an immigrant from England and worked as a maid. At times we were homeless. And, frequently hungry poor.

I've worked as a minimum wage dishwasher and as a laborer to support myself starting at age 15.

Spare me the "bourgeois" bullcrap.

If you can't find solidarity with the poor immigrant people against the bosses and want to stop them trying to survive, you're a sorry spokesman for the "working class".
