Why Saving the Middle class from Corporate Greed is So Very Necessary

Disgusting: 7 Million Kids and Mothers Suffer Extreme Poverty in the Richest Country in the World

Despite being the richest country in the world, our poverty rate is one of the highest among highly developed nations.

I recently had the opportunity to talk with Georgetown law professor Peter Edelman, to discuss his decades of anti-poverty work and his new book, So Rich So Poor: Why It’s So Hard to End Poverty In America.

 This is why we need equal pay for equal work. This is why we need Strong Unions. After all, too many businesses would pay employees the lowest salary that they could get away with. After all, with too many companies the needs of the boss is first, last and foremost, with employees just the means for which they get paid--I know, because I use to work for a Cleaning Service whose ex-husband the lawyer was the one who kept 'these' Holy Ghost Filled Christians' Honest and Law abiding--After all, these (the pair of sisters) who too Filled to Answer to Caesar.


By the way, just because I finally could afford to quit this Cleaning Service does not mean that I am finished paying the price of working there--just a time out. I will go back to paying the price if and when I retire, because for all Social Security and the IRS know for a brief period of time--I was unemployed -- without the benefits---Which means that my family will again pay the price of me getting conned by these Holy Ghost Filled Christian Republicans.

After all, the last thing that America needs is yet another generation of poverty, but unless the children of poverty get help now--Federal Assistance--that is what we will have.

Reminds me of my former bosses at that Cleaning Service-The Cleaning Service that now is smaller than it was when it first got started, but at least now the bosses get to keep more of the money they make; they may be small, but at least Thank God By The Power of the Holy Spirit and in the Name of Jesus: they found their way around paying taxes--The last thing that America needs--A President who would sacrifice the Middle and Working Classes for the 1% at the expense of Society. 

In addition,there is this reality--why corportations need so many lawyers.
