What we need is a "21st Century Full Employment Act for Peace and Prosperity" which would make it a mandatory requirement that the president and Congress attain and maintain full employment.

Mass struggle is needed to win a better life

It’s easy to become frustrated and pessimistic about life in these very troubled times thinking people are not going to act in a way to make things right as these sleazy, crooked, corrupt, lying and Wall Street bribed politicians try to drag us down the road to hell.


But, we have to remember there is an equation that must be followed if we are going to be successful in turning things around:


Education plus Organization plus Unity in Action equals Victory.


We will will all have to pitch in and do what we can... we must articulate our problems and we must articulate the solutions we are seeking and not allow these politicians who are never in our side but always end up siding with the Wall Street parasites and vultures but only after they have tricked us into believing they are working for us... they turn out a good spiel of campaign gimmickry, just enough to make us think they are working for us and taking care of our problems so we don’t organize and then then stick a knife in our back before we can figure out what is going on. Then we wonder how the heck did this happen?


We should know by now since Joe Biden, Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi have led the Democrats in doing this to us over and over again for many decades. And they are doing it again right now.


We, as working people, we need our own organizations and a new political party... let the honest Democrats join with us rather than us getting sucked into the treachery and betrayal that is our lot when we allow and enable a bunch of opportunist politicians to manipulate us.


The Democrats will never advance a working class agenda for peace, social and economic justice in defense of democracy and the Constitution and Bill of Rights... we need our own organizations and our own party to advance our own working class agenda... why would we think any politician accepting bribes from our Wall Street enemies would ever be on our side?
