No One Told You When to Run

It is incredibly difficult to wake the working class, not mainly because they are heavy sleepers or mainly because they are lazy. But for the reason that they go to sleep tired and worried, about their kids and their jobs and their future. They are too preoccupied with the day to day struggle for life to hold intellectual arguments on class warfare. Considerably like our Iraqi brethren trying to live by means of Bushes shock and awe Saddam's politics do not mean a damn thing when you're just attempting to preserve your household alive.

I had to go in to work one Saturday morning and as I drove, I came up behind a brand new Cadillac. Becoming the 1st new one I had seen for the model year I was admiring it from a far. It was a spectacular vehicle, all shiny and white and on the back on the bumper was a brand new sticker, "I function for a living, that's why I vote Republican!" The vehicle then made a perfect turn into the country club and as I drove on I wondered to myself, I wonder what job he does at that country club to be able to afford a new Cadillac?

The irony of a man in a brand new luxury vehicle telling a man on his way to function on the weekend how hard he has it even though he goes to his exclusive club. But it wasn't his auto or his club membership or even his holier then thou attitude that I envied but his time. His wealth buys him time, he is released from the modest worries of life. This is not to say the rich have no worries, they do, we all do and most people when in brief supply of worries will create their own.

As he plays his round of golf he has time for the intellectual arguments of how unfair it is to tax the rich. How considerably extra appreciative his overseas workers are
And he admires their authoritarian government. He thinks boy, that's what we require here a few more busted skulls and America could be a paradise.

You and I, maybe we have to work on Saturday or at least cut the grass or take little Rutiger to soccer practice. Your wife desires you to figure out what that noise is coming from underneath the auto and alter the oil. All of us have our honey do lists and when we check off the items at the leading additional are added to the bottom. Possibly we make time to watch the game or the race but ever present is the expertise that we have something else that we need to be doing.

We live our lives stealing smaller moments of time and have none added for grandiose strategies. By the tens of millions, Americans be concerned about the future. George Bush has indeed become the uniter Americans are united in their disgust with George W. Bush. Mother continually applied to say you can usually get something nice to say about a person if you appear hard sufficient. Ok mom, here goes, George W. Bush has done us a service, the service of exposing to us all how detached uncaring and unfeeling a government can become.

But understanding and doing some thing about it are two separate problems, those who have the time are aware of this, and they are well ready, for they have the time to feel these things out and to make preparations. They know that when the men and women understand that the rugs been pulled out from under them, that the economy is in a shambles, the currency is debased and the lengthy race to the bottom is completed. That the Patriot act, the NSA wiretapping and the contracts for detention camps all the nicely thought out plans will come in handy. This is not the very first time about the block for them.

In 1931 five hundred farmers came to England Arkansas most hadn't eaten in days, a girls explained that her youngsters hadn't eaten in three days. The farmers demanded the Red Cross release food aid or the farmers said they would take it by force. The Red Cross and government had been stunned by their actions. Not rabble-rousers or agitators but simple farmers politicized by their own hunger determined to make government listen to their demands and respond, now! Perfect damn now!

Although there was no violence the newspapers of the time referred to as it a riot much like Fox news would call them terrorists today. At this time we have swat teams with military uniforms and weapons to fight such hazardous terrorists. The line among police function and soldiering is blurred and not by accident. Those with the time know, that men and women question when the police shoot suspects but that soldiers shoot only enemies. Waco, Ruby Ridge the presumption of guilt is replaced by certainty.

As long as they have time and you do not the scenario is nicely in hand. But if the time arrives when the tens of millions have the time to figure out who has performed this to America then its lock and load. This scenario is not new or even exclusive, recent suggestions of government aid to help sub prime mortgage lenders echo the policies of Herbert Hoover that sufficient aid at the leading will trickle to the bottom.
Never ever worked just before but they just cannot stomach the concept helping the working class.

Out of the suffering and degradation of the wonderful depression out forefathers built a new America. A new America built with new suggestions foremost of which is there is no limit on how high you might possibly rise but there is a limit on how far you will be allowed to fall. Rather of spouting Bible verses they codified into law that we are our brothers keepers. That "the people today" in the Constitution meant we not me or mine but we. We ought to reestablish those old new ideas!

We have been undone, the lessons they learned have been mainly forgotten. The objectives they once achieved are now rolled back like the hands on a clock. The 40-hour week, overtime pay, labor unions, the GI Bill, top quality public schools even great roads and bridges are no longer certainties The beatings they took we must take once again but unlike our forefathers we know what the answers are.

The stock industry quakes on the Fed's pronouncement of all is properly, wobbling a hundred points in either direction. Even some authorities are beginning to mention the hole in the credit bucket and that the bucket can't be filled. Consumer spending is stalled Wal-Mart wages only go so far even at Wal-Mart! We no longer mention new auto sales but rather government statistics tell of grocery sales and how various of us can pay our mortgage this month. Yet still they insist, all is nicely! We have full employment! Aircraft engineers working at Home Depot and software engineers at Garden Ridge.

We the folks ought to take the time or time will take us. We need to reestablish the principles of the American working class realizing that this is being performed for our children not for ourselves. To make our politicians of both parties and of all parties conscious that the sole purpose of government is the maintenance of we the persons. Not some consumers or most of the individuals or the couple of at the best but we the folks.

We will no longer accept the excuses of it cannot be helped it is world wide. Those are pitiful excuses at ideal. If you have no much better suggestions than that get out of the way! Step one, the impeachment and removal of the Bush Chenny junta if for no other reason than as a signal to the planet that the accurate American many people have awakened and have all the time in the planet.
