HOW IS THE WORKING CLASS STRUGGLING BUT CORPORATIONS ARE MAKING RECORD PROFITS. 1% CONTROLLING 99% OF THE WEALTH WONT EVER WORK. IT DONT MATTER WHOS PRESIDENT UNTIL WE AS A PEOPLE CHANGE NOTHING CHANGES. STOP FOCUSING ON DISTRACTIONS AND CHANGE WHAT YOU COULD CHANGE. YOU AND I ARE JUST AS MUCH PART OF THE PROBLEM CUZ WE SLAVED FOR LOW WAGES UNLIKE THE BOOMERS WHO MOBILIZED AND USED THEIR LABOR AS A BARGAINING TOOL FOR BETTER PAY.
