Low minimum wage. Lack of health care. Rising homelessness. Lack of education. Bloated defense budget. College loan debt. Lincoln said men died at Gettysburg so “government of the people, by the people and for the people would not perish from the earth.” It’s perishing now.

It started 20, 40 or even 50 or 60 years ago. No?

Yes, it is, but mostly on the federal level. The country is just too big to run the way it has in the past. It won’t do any good to blame the Republicans or the rich. It’s a systemic problem. We can’t vote our way out of it.

An easy 42 years late, the last nail in the coffin was 1980, Jimmy Carter was our last hope, but he never gave Ralph Nader a position.

Lincoln misspoke. He meant to say, "government of the wealthy, by the wealthy, and for the wealthy....".

Not to forget that states are going after the poor with fines and fees further hurting the poor

As you said to Bernie a couple of days ago: "From your lips to God's ears." But I think God has been out to lunch over the last 40 years. Lunch time is over Heavenly Father! 🙏🤗

This is a nightmarish statement. It is also totally correct.
