Sunday Morning Sermon
Here's to the guys and gals who put in a hard day's work. The times have been tough: wages down, benefits gone, hours up, and many of the jobs people have made a decent living at are gone. There are no other reasons other than corporations wanting to make higher and higher profits for the CEO's and shareholders. Welcome to globalization. The greatness of this country was built, and continues to rest, on its citizens and their willingness to put in a hard days work, at fair wages, for decent benefits, and a reasonable level of assurance that they will have a job to go to in the morning. Over the last thirty years or so, all these things have been in jeopardy. Our working class heroes have not gotten a ticker-tape parade, they have been given the shaft. As a result, we are not the country we once were. Our economy is less, our politics are less, and our spirit is diminished. It is time for a working class revolution. In order to buy our labor, the transaction needs to be fair and mutually beneficial. When that balance is lost, so are we. The rich men of this country, with their right-wing ideology, need to be relieved of their leadership. Like we did in 1910, we once again need to take charge. You can only be beat down for so long. Any more delay and American will become a third class nation, owned and operated by rich corporations, intent on doing nothing more than becoming richer and richer and espousing right-wing ideology.
