The rest of the country should take a good look at
Mississippi. Now that the Corps. have taken control
of all 50 States, there is no other way but down from
here. It is quite obvious that the Republicans and
our Corporate masters have won and that Jesus Christ
was wrong, the Rich have already inherited the Earth.
From this day forward the working people can now
enjoy a standard of living much less than that of
their fore-fathers, the goal of the Corps. is to
reduce the wages and benefits of the working class,
by at least 50 percent so they may become ever more
profitable in the future. There is only one thing
wrong with that scenario, if they are to succeed in
reducing the work force to mere indentured servitude,
then the only ones left to purchase the products made
by this new serving class are the rich although there
are many elite rich in this country, there certainly
are not enough to buy anything still made in this
country.
Capitalism worked fine for those that ended up with
all of the money, but without a little Socialism to
demand that some of the wealth be distributed to the
Workers, this will not happen voluntarily within the
new Corporate State. Good Luck with waiting for
either party to save the Workers. This at best is
wishful thinking, if we are to survive as a nation
then it is long past time to act in self-defense, now
We are left with but one alternative and that is to
react with all means possible to demand that change
be initiated immediately, no longer trusting that if
We should vote for the guy or gal with the promises,
that something wonderful will come our way.
