Race and gender obsessed identity politics. The crack cocaine of the left. Addictive and deadly. No greater gift was ever given to the ruling class.

The decline of labor unions, closing trade high schools, telling kids go to college or parents social standing tanks, and vote the party knowing nothing about the candidates.<br />When the second parent entered the labor force to afford the extras to keep up with the Jones, the CEOs and their puppet politicians saw a chance to wring more profits. People complained but paid the increased costs, and soon it took two incomes just to make ends meet.<br />It won’t change until lazy people get off their butts and actually participate in democracy. Even then it won’t be easy but it can be done.<br />xoxoxoBruce<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-91854028785595713842022-09-02T15:31:22.042-05:002022-09-02T15:31:22.042-05:00Who are they?Who are they?IronHorsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01106255311347964531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-45206806358056502062022-09-02T14:25:20.762-05:002022-09-02T14:25:20.762-05:00Without pointing any fingers, I think it's fai...Without pointing any fingers, I think it's fair to say that the situation is supported and encouraged by a vast number of Americans who suffer the worst consequences.
