Speaking Out

/ Tracy Abell

                  

For the past months we’re been treated to non-stop messaging on how the middle-class 

must "make sacrifices" (which translates to massive cuts in services with threats to Medicare
and Social Security while the wealthy get tax breaks), because deficit spending is out of control,

and now our president, without any discussion with We-the-People or members of Congress,
is spending millions of dollars to bomb Libyan people who have the grave misfortune of 
living above a huge amount of oil the greedy plutocracy wants.
 
Just in case you’re angered / baffled / incensed by this turn of events,
 
And just in case, like me, you’re at wit’s end with the non-stop horrible news,
here is a laugh from our good friend and philosopher, Agnes:

    • I don’t how it’s going to change when the wealthy keep pitting the middle-class workers against each other, and people keep buying it. The ruling class = masters of distraction.

    • Thank you for that link, Carolyn. This pretty much sums it up:
      “which, like a unicorn with bag of magic salt, is a nice idea but is pretty much bullshit, precisely because this ‘consolidation’ doesn’t hit everyone in the same way.”

      Save us, Agnes!!!
