Sudden is wrong 😑

America how did we get here?

Since the 60's it has been the goal of the 1% to crush the middle class. It had grown post WW2 with the GI Bill educating so many first generation students and elevating them into the middle class.

How do I explain to a 2 year old why so many Christian’s follow the most unChrist like person on the planet?

American Ice Cream

Dear 2 year old. Let’s take a trip to the playground. Go play with the other children.
All the children stay entertained & blissfully play in peace.
The ice cream truck comes with every choice imaginable.
We go to purchase ice cream but realize some of the other kids don’t have money. They don’t even come to the line. Doesn’t that make you sad? They are unable to see they should be allowed the same choices & a fair chance at purchasing ice cream.

Dear 2 year old: I’m going to pay for others to have some ice cream now.

Run away mad if you want. I’ll explain later.

The 2 year old is angry but eventually forgets about the ice cream & plays again.

Later the 2 year old lays down for a nap. I explain that WE can have ice cream whenever we want. Others don’t have that choice. Is that fair? Shouldn’t humans help one another when we can?

He sleeps.

On the other side of town a child sleeps thinking about how good that ice cream tastes & he will do anything to be able to afford ice cream in the future. He grows up & makes money to do so but quickly forgets that others should be given ice cream as well. Isn’t that sad?

In another version of the USA
we all live happily & have the freedom to choose our favorite flavor of ice cream.
We work together sharing our resources & pay others fairly to create the bowls that hold our ice cream. But that’s just an American dream.


WWII sent off boys from the farm.
Lucky men came home
Many were heartbroken
Fractured souls & altered minds
Attempted to claim their peace
Of the American dream
Honoring their fallen friends & respect
Back to school they went
Educated now birthed the middle class

But wait! Political interests
Quickly engaged by the bags of money
Force fed by marketing
They can’t take **our** money
Peasants can’t hold status
Wealthy lived in privilege
They didn’t want only their income
Sought to destroy others
How to do so they asked?
Nixon

Reagan- Nom- Icks
Manipulating others to hate Ebonics
Dose them with sugar water
anti-union laws pushed
The poor are lesser humans
Take away their pensions
Less educated masses
Wealth force-fed the regulations
Dumb, deaf or blind 🇺🇸 stayed
Going to church on Sunday
And more loose taxes for the power
But God only knows the hour 😂
Hypocrisy!!!

USA unaware of
Evil pulling the strings.
Peacemakers spoke
As always
Powerfully silenced.

Then the - isms
Keep the pawns fighting amongst theirselves
Religion, class, race and sex
Divided caste chattel is US society
We’ve bought into “freedom” ideology
“Let them eat fast food.”
We ignore or berate those unlike us.
This keeps us constantly wrestling

All inspired by this ….

A growing middle class, presented a poltical danger to the interests of the wealthy, it's growth took away from their status and privilege, so it had to be both shrunk and turned against the the lower class.

Nixon started it, Reagan perfected it with anti-union laws, demonizing the poor, slashing pensions, underfunding education and loosing the taxes and regulations on corporations.

Classism, Sexism, Racism and Religion are all used to further seperate working class Americans, who have more in common than not, and to give them someone to focus their anger and blame on, when their own upward mobility stalls; all the while the rich get richer.
