Face it, things have been getting worse for working folks and have been for a long time. Ever since they were convince that protecting their own wages, benefits and working conditions was not in their best interest.

Everybody thinks it's guns that are going to protect them from losing their rights and the "American way of life". Anyone who believes that is bringing a gun to an economic fight. The gun being held to our heads isn't the kind that shoots bullets, it's the kind that deliberately causes economic disaster. 'Shut up, keep your head down and do as we say, or we'll cut off the money.', is the message that the Corporatists have sent. This is why every city or state where folks were once empowered to demand a better life has faced economic hardship.

Is this "Freedom"? To my mind the answer is "No". My evidence is the current state of affairs.

This is the point I have been trying to make only to watch it fall on deaf ears.

This is how we are controlled.

Dave
Excellent post as usual Dave.

Dave made some excellent points.

I figured you'd respond with one of you snarky unfunny jokes.

That's what you always do when you find yourself in an indefensible position.

So the Central Americans should stay in their own countries, right?

For you it's "If you can't make a joke, be one"
