Please give me an example. If Obama gives in to cuts to Soc. Sec. and Medicare in order to get rid of the tax cuts to the rich will you take to the streets?

(24,319 posts)we took it to the streets in the 60s. The result was Nixon, and evetually Reagan. The majority in this country does not like social disorder and civil disobedience. We take it to the ballot box now. It's much better that way. No tear gas. I actually hope they take it to the streets though. Then they will learn the folly of that.

They keep taking things away from labor, I'm outta here. There is really not enough left of me to survive a violent revolution at this point and things will get very violent if they insist on starving working people to keep the plutocrats fat.
I will have to work for justice from offshore.
