20. Revolution?
Are you advocating social revolution? Are workers here really the victim of a corrupt political establishment? Workers and the lower social classes are the victims of the globalized economy. Manufacturing is moving to the east...it is a crushing fact of globalization. The sustainable pricing of the comsumer driven ecomony requires expense controls on the supply side. How do you fight for a worker in a service driven economy? What sort of social revolution are you expecting? Have the people that are in the "disadvantaged" classes that you describe, done what our President ased? Have you signed up for the peace core? the military? are you serving your community? The sum of what the president wanted was for everyone to put back into the community what the take out. I am a to the core yellow dog democrat. I believe in helping the poor and disenfranchised, but I also believe in the American way. If someone is a memeber of a disadvantaged group and is expecting me to drop opportunity in their lap, they are sadly mistaken. You have to want it enough to sacrifice for it. If you are advocating changing this fundemental American value, then please enlighten me on what your post-revolution America will look like...
