It's time for working Americans to claim their fair share.
All the wealth that this country has accumulated has been on the backs and sweat of the average working people of this country. Without their labor, there would be no railroads. There would be no Trump Tower. There would be no Interstate Highway System. There would be no fruits and vegetables on the stands at the supermarket.

Our representatives rushed to give the big bankers and investors almost a trillion dollars to save them. Our priorities have always been backwards. We can go years without a raise in the minimum wage for workers. We can go decades without healthcare for our people. We have homeless people on our streets by the hundreds of thousands, many of them veterans of some military branch or other. Yet, there is no rush to save these people?

1. and the repukes have mesmorized their sheep
to believe that putting themselves higher on the food chain of prosperity is communism. Bailing out banks and traders is good, equalizing the playing field is evil.
