I don't get the need for a "sit in" or a day of ...what did they call it... something to do with anarchy.. oh right, civil disobedience. Okay, when I was 15 I may have run away from home and preached from the Washington mall or at capitol hill with you.
But staging violent protests and instigating riot police is not the answer.
Get in to government funded colleges and programs.. they are only as good as the students they host. Build on your ideals and expand on your own thoughts, take them to congress and make the changes you want.
Somethings gotta give.
Generations have built this mess. Overspending has built this mess, our parents, grandparents and our forefathers, have built this mess. Buy the latest gadget or phone, you contributed. Buy the cheaper more affordable thing at the dollar store (made in China) products, yea, your helping contribute... I'm guilty as well .
Be active. don't invest in stocks. corporations have proved they can not be trusted. The entire global market is crashing as a whole. You want change you have to make it.
None of this can be blamed on one individual president or policy or person it has been building up for a long time. ...so was the Tea Party. (the BOSTON one) gosh..
As far back as this country's history goes, the rich have been overtaxing the poor. this country was founded on the backbreaking labor of immigrants and blue color workers. (google the industrial revolution)
Yes, the bare minimums are expensive. I know. But when you scrimp, save and plan, you can live with in a budget and still enjoy life.
An asshole fired me a little over a year ago. Since then, I have been in school and worked MANY part time jobs to cover my basic expenses while I have been supported in a recession based relationship. (I'm not expanding on that at this time-other than this- "it was financially sound to stay together")
These ARE hard times. But each one of us has to do whatever it is that will help us get by in a honest hard working way.
