The slogan by Marx , Workers Of All Countries Unite needs to be followed today more than ever.We are living in a class society and that needs to change.The workers from Egypt to the USA needs to take political power into their own hands.Then we can begin to do things for the good of the people.The working class got similar problems no matter where they are in the world.It will be a hard struggle but it will be worth it in the end.At the present time we are living more like animals than humans,the working class can change that.

I think it’s worth noting that, among the 99 people arrested for sitting in at the Brooklyn Bridge on November 17th were George Gresham of 1199 and Mary Kay Henry of SEIU, fresh off her endorsement of Obama for re-election as well as two Democratic City Council members–providing somewhat timely evidence of the ways in which the unions and the Democrats can work this game. Meanwhile, needless to say, the marchers went across the walkway rather than the roadway.

Educated father to 11 children…4 are biological from a previous marriage, and seven are adopted children that my wife had when I married her. I lost my home, my career, and my first marriage due to the economic pressures applied to the building industry in 2007/2008. Forced from that position, I opted to go back to college, only to be demonized buy social services for ignoring my responsibilities as a father and selfishly attempting to finish my degree. I’m a disabled vet, and have been employed for my entire adult life, sraping the bottom of the social food chain, in part due to lacking a bachelors degree in a society that demands it as a minimum requirement to get my ticket punched and “progress” in any type of job. So, crushed, and homeless…I returned to school. I was maintaining a good GPA, when I met my current wife. Lori has never been married, in her early 50′s, has a heart of gold, and struggling to pay her mortgage and feed her 7 children, after losing a 35 year, very successful day-care business in Fargo, ND. Having no other experience, Lori returned to college herself, taking a full load of classes, and attempting to live on her meager income provided by the state to assist with her 7 adoptive children. After we met, as a “homeless vet”, Lori took me into her home. We fell in love and married this past summer. Since that time, I quit school to return to work after being out of the workforce since the summer 2010. The only position I could find was a job taking school photos and working phone sales with a local photography studio. I seem to be overqualified for most labor work, and underqualified in a city with 5 colleges and a surplus of unemployed college graduates. At $10 dollars per hour, My new family struggles to eat or even heat our 7 bedroom 4 bath home that Lori had purchased over 20 years earlier to house her adopted children and operate her childcare business from. Now, with that business gone, and Lori going to school, racking up even more debt…I find we are sinking, having to find some way to pay off my own student loans, her mortgage, over $700.00 per month for family medical health insurance, food, electric, car payments…etc., ect… You know the story…so many of you find yourselves in the same or even worse predicament. I so desperately desire to be out in those streets…screaming at the top of my lungs for some kind of justice! My employer is struggling too, so getting 40 hours of work at 10.00 per hour (no health benefits offered) and paying court ordered support (wages garnished at $201.46 every 2 week paycheck) leaves Lori and me feeling totally helpless. I don’t know what else I can do to help my family and children. I’m so pissed off. NO HELP…I feel hopeless and sinking. I’m definitely in that 99%…and Pray for some miracle of change. I want justice…for all of us…just…justice.
