Against inequality

in LVDSA4 years ago

This is from Eugene V. Debs:
I am opposing a social order in which it is possible for one man who does absolutely nothing that is useful to amass a fortune of hundreds of millions of dollars, while millions of men and women who work all the days of their lives secure barely enough for a wretched existence.

How is it that so many in "this land of plenty" have nearly NOTHING? Whatever you do, don't ask ANYONE in our Federal Government as they want to be "the one who does NOTHING" so they can have untold riches.

Take Nancy Pelosi, please, who has amassed a fortune of around $200 MIllion and it is growing daily. What has she done for the citizens of this Country in the last 20 years? Eaten $12.00 a pint ice cream on Television while bragging about her Chocolate? Hell, anyone can do that! Of course, for me that would mean going without dinner for a couple days.

Congress is "trying to arrange" another stimulus payment of $1200.00 for the citizens who make less than $135,000.00 annually. What are they doing to help with Mortgages? how about RENT? How about the Car Payment? How long has it been since ANY of our Congressional members have come out on the street and seen what is going on? How long has it been since they had to get along with less than $40,000.00 a Year? And they whine so they will give themselves another raise, but not to the people who need it, like military members and their families, Like Veterans who have kept CONGRESS safe. How about taking care of them, CONGRESS? Why do you feel the need to give a person who is making $1.4 Billion a year another $200 Million? and Please, don't even try the "Trickle down" economics excuse, it never worked 40 years ago, and it still doesn't work today
