in the last 40 years we've gone from nuclear family to working 2-3 jobs to survive..this is now the new norm..how many generations does this effect? if you've never had it you don't know what you're missing..I remember a time when you could work one job on minimum wage, pay your bills and have money leftover..those under age 50 cannot. means of production has slowly shifted the tax burden (the double whammy) on to those who are working 2-3 jobs because they already have taken you away from the 40 hour work week and surely if you work 2-3 you will find a 4th soes you can eat at Ruby Tuesday wit da white folk.<schuylaar's shuck in' and jivin'>
Bernies message is, its NOT normal,even though they (MOP) having you believing it because you were BORN into it..again a type of Stockholm Syndrome in which you identify with your captors..means of production.
one thing I disagree with on her commentary, is that no matter what color including white..if you have no close family, friends..you have NO safety net in this country..if there is no one to help you, you are shit out of luck..not everyone has a granny or auntie and even if they do, those people are struggling too.
I've posted this government statistic before, a single person NEEDS $29k for basic SURVIVAL in the US.
Rather than taking means of production/special interest to task and forcing a higher wage we've resigned ourselves to lower wages and several jobs because it was the easier of the two..now MOP is running amok..we didn't fight, we took the easy way out and let them have Carte Blanche in Washington and resigning ourselves to 'this is the way it is'.
this is why I stand with Sanders and will continue to do so..it MUST stop somewhere. are we going wait another 8 years of mediocrity? that's a whole other generation that will end up accepting the way things are..again.
when did we lose the fight in us?
this is tough love men..we MUST repair the broken system..if not NOW..WHEN?
