They want to enshrine Neoliberalism because they have profited from it so handsomely. In the meantime the rest of us have been shorted from every side. They even conspired to send our jobs overseas.

There will be change one way or another. Just a prediction. We could start fairness right here, right now, but I guess that would be too much to expect.

Never let them forget who was on the right side of history.
