Half of America have nothing including hope.
Society is cracking.
The 1% has all the power. Most of the money. And the military to keep their bloodsucking game going on.
40 acres And A Mule.
And the Klan runs the White House.
Society is cracking.
Corporate judges. Tax the poor not the rich. Zero future. Trillions in debt. Systems like mental health care broken beyond repair.
Society is cracking.
The 1% are laughing at the protests from their palaces and private jets.
The jails are full of the poor not the carpet baggers. The vulture capitalists. Wall Street bankers. The Trumps of this world are above the law. That knee is on half of America's necks.
Society is breaking.

During the Arab Spring (in Arabia) I had my students read about the revolts of 1848. That was a little too prophetic as well.

(4,619 posts)To mention what I do.
I don't break windows or start fires.
It amazes me as to how many people are allowing "them" to rob their families, and destroy their planet for profit, while they pay squat in taxes. Them aren't illegals, or welfare queens driving caddillacs.
