DiaryOfAWorm: Do the Right and Believe


My mother taught me that the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.
Now Facts Show Rich Getting Richer, Everyone Else Poorer.
Republicans always say if the rich get richer there will be more jobs and we will all be richer.
It never works out that way but they say it again anyway.

Big companies do not have to worry about strikes anymore.
They just say “if you do not like what we give you we will move out of your state.”
What can workers do but just give in?
The state cannot say this to it workers since the state cannot move out of the state.
So the State just says you no longer have the power of collective bargaining.

When government allows 400 of its richest citizen to make more money than the bottom 50 per cent of its citizen,
It can no longer claim it is working for the ‘common good.’

Everyone says we need less government spending yet the government spends more money on war.
The military/industrial/educational complex seems to run the show.
If you speak against it you are not patriotic.
If you support it you are blind.
If you ignore it, you are supporting it.

What can we do?
Nothing but break the silence, do the right thing and believe
That truth will prevail and that life follows death.
