9. The homeless?

The hungry? The forgotten population? Paying our PUBLIC school teachers better? Started a campaign to raise the minimum wage? Campaigned to make groceries, hospital bills, medicine, and insurance more affordable? Naw. They never considered doing any of that. Instead, they chose to spend a portion of our paychecks to jail us. And we went home after work, armed with that knowledge, sat in our armchairs, swearing at the evening news, and hoped that he would die and it would all be over soon. Here's my hope: due to our inaction, I hope we get to continue 'hoping' from our chairs, and not from Alcatraz. Once they round-up all the browns, the Democratic women are next.
