We Can Stop Them

We can end it. We can stop the Ubers and Filthys (richer and richest) from legislating us back to the stone age (or 1901, which is close enough). We really have no choice. Becuz if we don't they will. Take us to 1901. With pleasure and impunity. FDR and LBJ "safety nets" reduced to rubble; kids once again working in their factories for half a sandwich, their parents working for little more. Becuz "Freedom!" Their word, apparently for pain and suffering. This ends that. Or is the start to end that. Right here, right now. We thought it was mostly about "Barack the Magic Negro." That it was about RW racism and -gasp- a black man in the White House. Sacrilege! And there was and still is some of that. But, mostly it's about business and profits - and how the black man in the White House is doing all he can to limit theirs. "Trickle Down" Reaganomics: Give us Ubers and Filthys all your money and we'll make sure more than enough trickles back down to your wallets, your pockets. We tried that for over 25 years before it came crashing down on all of us in the 2007/'08 meltdown. The Ubers and Filthys wish to continue on that path while, even better, taking us back to "the good ol' days" (for them) of the turn of the last century. No min. wage, virtually zero Labor Laws, kids could work for nothing, business good! Profits even better! Ahh, the good life! For them. For the rest of us, our Great Grandfathers at least, not so much. This is about stopping them before 1901 arrives. Welcome to the party!
