When they said our union workers were lazy and incompetent, I kept
silent because I was not a union man. When they said,our white collar IT workers are overpaid and spoilt brats and outsourced their jobs, I did not say anything because I was not one of them.When they sent away poor white, black and hispanic kids to fight and die in a war not of their making, I kept quiet because I was not one of them.When they want to raid Social Security to benefit their corporate cronies, I remain silent because I will not be affected by it for quite some time.

But the time is coming when my children will not have a good future and so will my grandchildren.When that time comes, I will regret the day I did not have the courage to speak up because my children and grandchildren will be paying for my cowardice.

1. Too bad
We can't stop corporate whores or corporations. They want slave labor at any cost and they may just get it. Of course, any pay that alows people to own homes, a car, and feed themselves is too much to ask.
