Questions I’d Like To Ask of the Democrats

When are you going to stand up and act to stop the rape of the working class? When are you going to yell and scream for passage of the Employee Free Choice Act? When are you going to start demanding that we raise taxes on the rich in order to feed and house and provide for the poor, the aged, the weak? When are you going to insist on single payer health care? When are you going to demand that public housing be built that middle-class folks will WANT to live in? When will you speak to the true causes of the violence in our ghettos, and realize that it is not “their” problem but “our” problem? When will you call Our Reptilian Wall Street Masters what they truly are – venal, corrupt criminals – and tell them they don’t get bonuses this year or for the foreseeable future, and if they they get crazy ideas like destroying the banking system in retaliation, you’ll get crazy ideas involving the phrases, “lengthy prison terms in unpleasant Federal supermax prisons” and

“making big rocks into little rocks.”

The venal greed of the overclass very nearly destroyed the world economy. It is well past time to break the backbone of their power.

But, no. Keep on trying for electoral victory by catering to the sensibilities of upper-middle-class white women and the Creative Class. Just don’t be surprised when the bottom 80% of the income scale eventually gets fed up with your malign neglect and heartless exploitation. When that day comes, they will come for both you and the Republicans – and they will come for you both, because you and the Republicans basically have made it your agenda to serve the interests of different factions of the same top 20% of the income scale – all while repeatedly shoving knives into the backs of the poor and working classes.
