1/5 #Walmart Holding Food Drive For Their Own Underpaid Employees Is Ridiculous...

2/5 ... it's like Bill Gates begging poor people on the streets for pocket change to feed his maid.

Kevin Potts‏@KevinLynnPotts ‘The banana republic in which we stand’ by Mark Sumner for Daily Kos http://www.dailykos.com/story/2013/04/07/1199585/-The-banana-republic-in-which-we-stand?showAll=yes

[TED Video]

Excerpt: Imagine you lived in a country where there was a pretense of democracy; elections were still held, congress still sat down and debated legislation, and politicians continued to make rousing populist speeches-only it was all just for show. In truth, the nation was run, not just by a very small number of people, but for an even smaller number. Got that? Now, think about what happens if that very small number of people aren't representative of a broad spectrum of views, but are entirely composed of people with very similar social positions and very similar goals. That's not just a democracy in peril. That's not a democracy.

Now go to the window and greet this country.

Revolutionary Quotes‏@Rev_Quotes The capitalists are fascists who starve 20 million global citizens to death each year.

Kevin Potts‏@KevinLynnPotts WHAT WOULD HAPPEN If ALL wage slaves stocked up on food and refused to go to work for 3 months straight? http://www.irisclasson.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/organize.png

The Working Class‏@WorkingCIass The upper class is terrified of the revolutionary information flow.

Kevin Potts‏@KevinLynnPotts And Where Are The Anti-War Democrats Under Obama? Obama Made WAR Magically Delicious.

The Punk Patriot‏@PunkPatriot Hey there anti-war crowd. Were you just an Anti-Bush crowd? It seems like it, cuz that war shit is still nasty... http://fb.me/20oBNzDKa

Kevin Potts‏@KevinLynnPotts@PunkPatriot When Bush Did What Obama's Doing, Were You Mad? (FLYER) http://stpeteforpeace.org/obama.html

Don't Vote, Revolt!‏@DontVote_Revolt Capitalist elections are not 'better than nothing'. They suffocate revolutionary drives by presenting the people with false choices.

Wyclef Jean‏@wyclef Being free to choose is nothing if we are not free to create our own choices #AprilShowers

Rebelling Wage-Slave‏@RebellingSlave I will never trust any 'democratic process' that's controlled by the fascist business class.

Reasons To Revolt‏@ReasonsToRevolt Your job really sucks. You're going to spend 45 years working from 9-5 to produce profits for the wealthy.

Alan McCarter@factsrfun#morningjoe jobs don't pay so why brother? 75% of people make less than $50k a yr that's working just to live then you die people see that

Alan McCarter‏@factsrfun#morningjoe here's a chart showing pay distribution http://www.ssa.gov/cgi-bin/netcomp.cgi?year=2011 … jobs don't pay enough that's the problem

Kevin Potts‏@KevinLynnPotts @factsrfun ...but not the only problem. Even if (McDonald's for example) paid $100.00/hr I still wouldn't want to spend mylife working there

Occupy Wall Street‏@OccupyWallSt Every worker should be paid enough to live a life with dignity. #mayday #news

Kevin Potts‏@KevinLynnPotts@OccupyWallSt Of equal if not more importance, the nature of ALL work itself should provide a life with dignity.

Kevin Potts‏@KevinLynnPotts@OccupyWallSt ...Most existing jobs are completely unnecessary and exist only to perpetuate profit-oriented/capitalism/consumerism.
