stand up and demand jobs from corporations making record profits and not hiring workers or making plants?
why aren't we all in the streets already?
in the 30s folks took to the streets and once industry realized the movement wasn't going away and it was either give into public demands or lose their business, workers got what they needed/wanted.
its time again to take to the streets. we cant be afraid or live in fear of the consequences for standing up for ourselves.
we have to be ready to take a hit... to take a punch..
to stand tall and not back down.
we need strong organizations and leaders like we had during the labor movements formation... why are these things missing today ?
surely theres someone with some wealth out there that could provide gas masks to protesters so chemicals cant be used to disperse people? surely there are people not afraid to go to jail ?

(771 posts)But I do think most American people are in agreement with you. The problem is too many are looking towards the current administration for jobs when as you correctly identified it is the corps sitting on money that drives the no-job problem.
So we get a lot of sitting around - which does nothing and is frustrating.

protesting when you can toss off a sarcastic line or two?
