A growing middle class, presented a poltical danger to the interests of the wealthy, it's growth took away from their status and privilege, so it had to be both shrunk and turned against the the lower class.

Nixon started it, Reagan perfected it with anti-union laws, demonizing the poor, slashing pensions, underfunding education and loosing the taxes and regulations on corporations.

Classism, Sexism, Racism and Religion are all used to further seperate working class Americans, who have more in common than not, and to give them someone to focus their anger and blame on, when their own upward mobility stalls; all the while the rich get richer.

Or this …

WWII sent off boys from the farm.

Lucky men came home

Many were heartbroken

Fractured souls & altered minds

Attempted to claim their peace

Of the American dream

Honoring their fallen friends & respect

Back to school they went

Educated now birthed the middle class

But wait! Political interests

Quickly engaged by the bags of money

Force fed by marketing

They can’t take **our** money

Peasants can’t hold status

Wealthy lived in privilege

They didn’t want only their income

Sought to destroy others

How to do so they asked?

Nixon

Reagan- Nom- Icks

Manipulating others to hate Ebonics

Dose them with sugar water

anti-union laws pushed

The poor are lesser humans

Take away their pensions

Less educated masses

Wealth force-fed the regulations

Dumb, deaf or blind 🇺🇸 stayed

Going to church on Sunday

And more loose taxes for the power

But God only knows the hour 😂

Hypocrisy!!!

USA unaware of

Evil pulling the strings.

Peacemakers spoke

As always

Powerfully silenced.

Then the - isms

Keep the pawns fighting amongst theirselves

Religion, class, race and sex

Divided caste chattel is US society

We’ve bought into “freedom” ideology

“Let them eat fast food.”

We ignore or berate those unlike us.

This keeps us constantly wrestling

Next time you’re drawing in the middle of the ocean, I’ll tell my wife to let you, and she’ll tell me, no Austin, it doesn’t matter how big of a shitbag asshole the dude is, I save them, because that’s my duty.

Again, go fuck yourself.
