I have $100 to my name.
I am tired of listening to billionaires moan about class war. The billionaires are winning the class war. The middle class is DEAD. Over. Finished. There is now only a vast and increasingly impoverished working class of poor and struggling people, and they are contrasted with a tremendously wealthy and small ruling class of people like Mitt Romney who think $300,000 isn't that much money. This is class war.
And if you see Wisconsin, Ohio, Maine and more, the momentum is shifting. We are fighting back. We are starting to win, and the corrupt are ready to panic, because they have been winning in a lopsided manner for decades, and they aren't used to us plebians standing up and fighting back.
I'm tired of 99% of us losing. It's time to fight back.
Billionaires and the millionaire pundits and politicians that they own weep about class war all the time while demanding more and more tax cuts. Everything the conservative movement stands for is a massive transfer of wealth and power from the poor and working class to the super rich and their wealthy special interests. They only call it class war when the working class and poor fight back. I plan to fight like hell because my dad wasn't a rich Governor like Romney's dad, my dad was a union carpenter who served in Vietnam, and the fact that my dad paid a higher tax rate than Mitt Romney does is fucking obscene.
We need MORE non-violent civil disobedience against corporatism. We need to register millions and millions of people to vote. I will NOT go through another Bush v Gore. We need a movement to fight corporate personhood, Citizens United and the corrupt trickle down, deregulatory ideology that allowed Wall Street to destroy the world economy. America is a working class country, NOT a billionaire country, and it's time that we let the billionaires know that loud and clear.
Contrary to what the whiny, spoiled brat crony capitalists are saying, their side is winning the class war, and big time. They are the makers of rules, dealing with fools who watch Fox News, and they can cheat you blind. They buy politicians and use shadowy Political Action Committees and SuperPAC's to influence voters to vote for their own exploitation and impoverishment. The only thing that can defeat the billions of dollars they pour into influencing our elections is getting people to a voting booth. If you want to help me really piss off the Wall Street criminals lets register millions and millions of new voters.
Because the only way we can change laws is to vote. I am going to insist that you be a voter, and I want to help people register to vote. The last thing that the corporations want is for people to vote for what is in their economic interests.
I did not come to start a class war, I came to end one with peace and love and civil disobedience. Another world is possible, but only if we are ready to stand up and fight for what we believe in.
The billionaires call that class war. It makes them cry crocodile tears. I say we give em something to cry about.
And I am down to my last $100. I could use your help in this fight.
More below the fold, where I can use your help . . .
Here is my paypal link, I could use the help if I am going to keep on fighting the way I have been these last few months. My book of short stories is on the way, Austin (our fellow Kossack Tool) is helping edit it, and I am working on a book about Occupy as well. I honestly feel more rewarded doing what I am doing now than I have ever felt before. If you can help, I would be very grateful, and of course, when my book is finally ready I will gladly make it available for free to anyone who makes a donation to me via paypal.
So peace and love to all, I needed to vent today, and though this wasn't my most concise post in a while I just needed to get these thoughts off of my chest.
Cheers.
