FYI: The working class and poor in America come in all races, ethnicities, able bodied, and non, different genders, sexuality’s & religions. If someone say’s they want to help the working class and you assume, white, ask yourself why and who made you think that? Stop being played
We as a class of people need to stop letting these political parties play us. Does racism, sexism, and inequality exist? Hell yeah it does, but we as a class of people have allowed the elites to play us for over 100+ years while they exploit our labor. That’s got to stop.
Be very suspicious of someone who says “we have to fix racism before we do X about class” or “medicare for all won’t fix racism”. Um, no shit. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t address the working class, poor and middle class issues.
The elite have manipulated us long enough! They have us thinking if we just work harder and sacrifice more, we’ll finally get our just due. It’s a con. We’re being fucking conned and it’s time we wake the hell up and fight for what’s ours.
They’re poisoning out water, underfunding our schools, throwing us in jail and using prison labor for profit. Our elderly are going hungry, vets are homeless and our jobs are being sent overseas. Just so some fucking CEO can buy another house. How long are we going to take that?
They legit got us thinking “immigrants are taking our jobs”. Who the hell us giving those workers jobs? It aint us. We don’t run or own those businesses. It’s the elite that exploit all of us and we’re getting distracted, over and over. We’re being played.
Let me be very clear. Even immigrants and undocumented workers deserve opportunities. So I have zero beef with them. My problem is us, continuing to be played by the 1% as they take more and more. While giving nothing but trickery and “look over there” distractions.
If we can spend billions on wars that no American wants, give tax cuts to Apple, Amazon, and offer Nestle free water from our lakes, we can have basic services. We really can.
The fact that so man of us working, poor and middle class people think America can’t afford to cover basic services with our tax dollars is the biggest con that’s been going on for too long. That needs to end.
All of us are being taxed to dealth. There’s NOTHING we don’t oay taxes on. Nothing. Every time we buy something we get taxed. Hell, we’ve got roads we can’t drive on without paying a toll, aka a tax.
We’ve got to vote, organize, and fight back like our lives depend on it. Because it does. We can either come together as one, or continue to be exploited. The choice always has been and will continue to be ours. ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼✊🏻.
