I've always said that the American Revolution didn't really kick in until about the 1950's. It lasted a couple decades and now the powerful are crushing it and making sure they never make the mistake of letting the people rise again.
The first component of that revolution was in and around the 50's when labor unions finally came into their own, grew strong and set a good livable wage for average Americans and gave them an underpinning of benefits. Prior to that the Unions not only fought the wealthy business owners, they fought their own blue collar people who were lead to label them as "commies". Now the powers that be are busily destroying those unions and those jobs.
Then came the civil rights revolution and the women's rights revolution. All you have to do is look at modern day repukes and their agendas to know that all that is under attack, too.
The rich have kicked themselves for 50 years that they ever let things get out of hand in this nation and allow the "trash" to rise. The "trash" needs to wake up and realize they are being taken out to the curb for pick up and disposal. It is sickening to see them support those who want them destroyed instead of adding to those revolutions and making this nation work for it's people. If these fools were around in 1776, we would still be kissing King George's ring and worshiping the ground he walked on while living in poverty.
