We Are Suckers.

............................

We are being asked

1] To work longer hours

2] To work until we drop.

3] To expect less in return for those years of hard work.

4] To cut the services we pay for.

5] To hurt the least fortunate amongst us by removing our support.

6] To make education once more a privilege.

We are being taught to be small minded and petty; and in the meantime our societies so hard fought for are being eviscerated and sacrificed at the fallacious alter of 'fiscal responsibility'. Our common dreams are turning into a collective nightmare.

We in fact are held responsible for the years of greed.

.................

The more we protect those that rob us blind, the poorer we all will be.

Time for a social revolution?

I think so.

1. Right. Don't join military service. Don't work for Blackwater-esque private security firms.
That's who protects the wealthy from us.

2. 7) To support religious cartels
My last job was taken from me because I said something, on FaceBook, against trading on the name of the Lord. One of our megachurches is extremely powerful politically, is in bed with our state Chamber of Commerce, and helped elect "our" governor.
