Get off the streets
Get off the streets
Run
You don’t have a home to go to
Smush
Finally then I will read you your rights
You have the right to remain silent
You are warned that anything you say
Can and will be taken down
And used as evidence against you
Listen to this
Run!!!!!!!
THE INDECISION THAT BOTHERS ME
The aforementioned Eisenhower Foundation article on America’s lack of economic justice in recent decades, by the way, began like this:
“Just as American foreign policy seeks to preemptively impose the American establishment's will on other, poorer countries, so American economic policy is based on class warfare instigated by the rich and ruling class in the United States against the middle class, the working class and the poor.
As a result, excluding the rich, most Americans are worse off economically today than in 2001. Middle-class baby boomers, who are just beginning to retire, can expect their economic position to further deteriorate. The radical right's long-term objective is to continue tax cuts for the rich and massively increase military spending. This will increase the national debt still more and result in greatly diminished education, employment, and health care investments for the middle class, working class, and poor.
But will the middle class make the sacrifices that conservatives expect of them and their children? The middle class rebelled in the case of Vietnam. The need to reverse course today is all the greater because the United States cannot continue in its role as international debtor, with competitors like the dictatorship in communist China holding large portions of our international debt.”
The indecision of America’s population at unequivocally demanding the clearing of most of all 3 houses (White House, Senate, and House of Representatives) in Washington D.C. does bother me.
TIME FOR A NATIONAL COVENANT
I think….
It is time that concerned and affected Americans make a covenant to clear out the rubbish, weeds and bad leadership in our current system.
Bring the troops home and invest in American based infrastructure, aid poor families and educate America!
Get to work on this project now in your community!!!
You, Brits, should do more house clearing on your side of the pond in the next year or so, too.
