Such a great post. It's time for the Working Class to stand together and recognize that WE are the people that make this country run.

I just listened to an interview the other day (I'll try n find a link) with a woman who wrote a book about why rural Americans support Trump. Conclusion: there is no other party that they feel like represents the Working Class. (Absurd of course. Trump cares nothing about them.)

The point is, WE need to band together. WE need to stand for the Working Class and communicate that.

Just my two cents.

Thanks for the post.

I'm trying to figure out how I reclassified as unpaid. Also, I believe it was Baron von Munchausen, a fictional nobleman created by Rudolf Raspe, who came up with the genius solution to a sinking problem of pulling yourself up by your bootstraps!

Great read, the sooner we all stand together the better, all indigenous, all migrants, all working class, all exploited ❤️ 💚 🖤 💙 💛

They never abolished slavery. They just extended it to the rest of us. Great work as usual.

Indeed. And they exported it too.

FACES AT THE BOTTOM OF THE WELL is a great book that ties in with the LBJ quote. It was required reading in my poli sci grad school class.
