The Reason Why?
If you’ve been wondering why so many people are protesting in our nation and around the world, this picture and the letter that accompanies it might help you understand. A picture says a thousand words…..or even more in this case.
LETTER TO THE RULING CLASS You control our world. You’ve poisoned the air we breathe, contaminated the water we drink, and copyrighted the food we eat. We fight in your wars, die for your causes, and sacrifice our freedoms to protect you. You’ve liquidated our savings, destroyed our middle class, and used our tax dollars to bailout your unending greed. We are slaves to your corporations, zombies to your airwaves, servants to your decadence. You’ve stolen our elections, assassinated our leaders, and abolished our basic rights as human beings. You own our property, shipped away our jobs, and shredded our unions. You’ve profited off of disaster, destabilized our currencies, and raised our cost of living. You’ve monopolized our freedom, stripped away our education, and have almost extinguished our flame. We are hit… we are bleeding… but we ain’t got time to bleed. We will bring the giants to their knees and you will witness our revolution! ~ A Pencos Reyes

Right on.
Riviting photo. But although I do think there is far too much power and wealth in too few hands, and that the middle class is under attack, I don’t think I’d go as far as to advocate complete social revolution. Did you google Mr. A Pencos Reyes?? I did.
wow! Great to see this first thing this morning.
I sure sounds like the truth. I am 78 and still married to my high school girlfriend. I am just hoping to get to my last day without too much trauma in our nation. I am not optimistic.
@DivaJyoti - @murisopsis - @ZSA_MD - @ANVRSADDAY - One thing bothered me….wondered if the author or whoever transcribed the author’s words didn’t make a mistake using the word “copyrighted” …. or maybe not. I thought maybe “corrupted” was meant. Hmmmm? Should check it out.
