“How long will it take
\nTo see this grand mistake
\nWe have less & less to survive
\nOnly The Wealthy enslaving to thrive.”
\n~jg ’17<\/p>\n

It’s #TaxationWithoutRepresentation when only the voices of the wealthy are heard by Congress. Not really any different than when we told the King of England to “Fuck Off”, we need to tell our new corporate overlords and their wealthy controlling board members the same. #FUCKOFF Your business is NOT a big, powerful, rich person with an actual say in our government. That is the right of citizens. Actual human people. <\/p>\n

Funny how the wealthy often express contempt for Labor Unions which protect the middle class, meanwhile defending corporate exploitation through government protections…it’s really the same thing, just that the Government is protecting only the RICH, at the expense of 99% of the rest of The People.
