Hey Washington: Follow The People 2:10

3d ago2:10

2:10

“Those in the know,” say that We the People should forget any progressive fantasy that – at long last – Washington might finally produce the kind of bold FDR-style agenda that America needs.

Forget Trickle-Down BS – Let’s Push Percolate-up Economics 2:09

5d ago2:09

2:09

The past year proves that a lot of conventional economic wisdom is neither true nor wise.

Corporate acolytes and right-wing moralists constantly preach to laboring stiffs about the uplifting dignity of work.Of course, that’s “dignity” as defined and controlled by corporate elites, not by workers, and the reward for it frequently includes on-the-job injuries… and death.

America’s economic and political inequality has led workaday Americans to exclaim: “The system is broken.
