Yelling at the Dogs
I yelled at my dogs this morning. I was so angry and they were the only people around to yell at. It was because I was listening to Air America Radio which was talking about an article in Mother Jones called The Highwaymen.
American roads, roads paid for with our taxes, are being sold to private, usually foreign interests, as toll roads.
It made me furious. It made me feel like I did when I was burglarized. Stuff it took me years to work and save for was stolen. This is the same thing. Infrastructure the American people worked and paid for over the course of decades is being stolen. We are being robbed. And there is nothing we can do about it. Our national resources are being taken, our national infrastructure sold off, usually at less than cost. Probably the people doing the selling are bribed, paid off in some way.
There is no end to the harm this Republican Administration has done, no end to the harm the plutocracy is doing to our nation. Because there is no end to their greed. Anyway, just hearing about it made me furious. So I yelled at my dogs.
Come the revolution, we must nationalize our natural resources and renationalize our infrastructure. We must also prosecute as traitors those officials complicit in this sellout. We must also be willing to fight any foreign country that tries to stop us from recovering what is ours, what was stolen from us, just as we had to in 1776.
