This week Paul Ryan said the following on Bill Bennett’s “Morning in America” radio show:We have got this tailspin of culture, in our inner cities in particular, of men not working and just generations of men not even thinking about working or learning the value and the culture of work. […] There is a real culture problem here that has to be dealt with.Everyone understands whom Paul Ryan was alluding to when he made his self-described inarticulate remarks. He was stereotyping black and brown men in general.Paul Ryan and his ilk are not dumb. They know what they are doing. The problem they face is that the systemically disaffected in the country comprise the vast majority of people in the country. They must divide and conquer.Republicans depend on a populace with a shallow thought process. Disaffected Americans are working so hard to stay afloat that shallow thinking is their only escape. I saw this firsthand at a talk I gave at a junior college in town and speaking to many folks in my local Starbucks. It is not apathy. It is a feeling of not mattering.This was seen in the winnable election between Alex Sink and David Jolly. If more Democrats had bothered to vote, Alex Sink would have won.This will continue if Americans fail to see that they are being played like puppets on a string. Republicans are playing a race, gender, and poverty chess match to distract from what is really going on.What is really going on? Americans are in a class war that is leaving the middle class not behind but pilfered.
we have never had a mass opposition to what is happening before our eyes, sure we have had groups pop ups with a legit gripe they make some noise then with republican rejection they go away and we forget unless it's brought up, OCCUPY WALL STREET example.
with out us all the change can oly come from within the voting system, blaming the politicians who egregiously impose upon us is not making enough difference those who vote for the unscrupulous tactics are the real enemies of America,
we need to change laws and petition justice to stop leaving it as just us investigate and prosecute or the indifference that runs through the Progressive constituents at voting time will relegate us to worse than we know now, believe it.
As the plutocracy continues to extract the wealth of the masses, delegating more and more of them to poverty, they must divert blame. Systemic poverty in the inner city is the fault of black and brown men not wanting to work. Women are making a fraction of what men make because of their choices of leaving the workforce to support families. The poor, whether they are in Appalachia, rural areas or inner cities are poor because of the culture of waiting for uncle sugar.These groups in the aggregate all pay or must pay a premium to enter, stay or move up out of the middle class. One knows if one has a good financial planner based on the first advice given. What is that first advice? Start saving, start accumulating early. The compounding of one's wealth in the aggregate ensures that in future years even if continued accumulation is stopped, wealth can still grow.If the A train takes off 10 hours before the B train, and both are traveling at 100 miles an hour, train A will never be caught. Many blacks, Latinos, women and the systemic poor got onto the access to opportunity bandwagon much later. In the process large groups were left behind. Absent external intentional policies they can never catch the A or B train. Most will never catch those sprung forward. They cannot pay the opportunity premium. Their new reality is a normal way of life. Their poverty is existential.
if all our voices aren't heard then none are that is their fail safe our fickle approach to politics, those who proclaim to be Dems act like it support the Pres. do your own research see if you find the same negatives as reported by republicans and ask yourself WTF is wrong with fair wages, health ins. for all? it's no longer about Black and Brown it's about everybody's butt in that jackpot. please read the entire article for yourself not anyone else.
Nov. 4th be aware and be there
