It does happen and has happened, and? Huge difference between legal, and moral.
"You little rebels"?
Excuse me, but if all we do is let the rich dictate to the rest of us, then we could easily live under the Kim family who rules North Korea, or the Saudi Royal Family who rules Saudi Arabia. Fidel Castro upon his death had a personal wealth of $800 million. Gadaffi was a BILLIONAIRE whom owned stock in General Electric.
What built our middle class post WW2 was a DIRECT reaction to the failed no rules policies "let the rich do whatever the want" that lead to the bad gambling that lead to the Great Depression. Post WW2 policies created regulations and a climate of unions, and TAX RATES that built our middle class.
It still remains, that if the rich, not just in America, but worldwide, want to continue to make money, they cannot continue as a class to assume they are the only class that matters.
As usual, you don't understand what I said to you. In a fight with billionaires, I am all in. But I'm not picking a fight that I'm afraid of. If we pick a fight with billionaires, there is going to be some pain. They are going to make it hurt. It is going to be ugly. Are you up to it? If you pick a fight with Apple, are you willing to bring your iPhone to the bonfire?
Fine, then fuck Shultz, fuck Bloomberg.
But please do not dare equate them to Hillary, OR Bernie or Warren or AOC for that matter.
The only thing Hillary or Bill can be rightfully accused of is being held hostage.
Yea, greedy people will hurt you and? The Castro Family fucked it's population. The Kim family fucks it's population. The Saudi Royal Family fucks it's population too.
If I were to take a tactic if in charge, I would do what MLK did. Organize boycotts and sit outs and sit ins.
If you look at what literally ENDED the shutdown, it wasn't that the rich cared about the poor. It was because they finally faced that air traffic employees and TSA employees missing work were costing those businesses money.
It would take less than a week for government to wake up, if not only air travel was disrupted, but trash collection too. Name me one billionaire that would put up with a month of trash not being taken from their curbside.
This shutdown only ended because the rich were affected. But it is still within the power of workers to not let it get that far. Unfortunately Reagan got the upper hand and workers gave up.
