WARREN + PROGRESSIVES = REBUILD THE MIDDLE CLASS TO HELP BRING UP PEOPLE OUT OF POVERTY

UPDATE: Piketty told Elizabeth Warren that we’re far from powerless to stop the growth of wealth inequality.

UPDATE:   GOP = IN MASSIVE DECLINE BUT CHICKEN-CHIOT DEMS ARE TOO FRIGHTENED TO MAKE ANY MOVES!

Conservatives offer NOTHING credible to the anxious middle class = WHY aren’t liberals just trouncing them?

# 1 Right Blocks all Liberal Initiatives WITH LIES AND PROPAGANDA = RIGHT DOES ZERO FOR MAIN STREET and MIDDLE CLASS = LIBERALS HAVE BECOME DEFEATISTS. 

# 2 DEMS OFFER COMPROMISES THAT OPEN MORE MULTINATIONAL SCAMS = LIKE OBAMACARE INSURANCE SCAMS = DEMORALIZES PROGRESSIVES AS $BILLIONAIRE FRAUDSTERS WIN AGAIN WITH HELP OF DEMOCRATS!

Democratic movements are created by those not easily intimidated!

“The game is rigged. We can whine about it. We can whimper. Or we can fight back. Me? I’m fighting back.”

— Sen. Elizabeth Warren – “Wealth trickles up” = TRICKLE DOWN IS DEAD!

Senator Elizabeth Warren is not shy about being a crusader for the middle class.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s surging popularity = Result of her aggressive defense of Social Security + Demand for Wall Street accountability + A Fighting Chance for All Americans

We are at an exciting historic moment of the people demanding their RIGHTS and FIGHTING to end the blockade of powerful forces rich on exploiting the people and arrayed against the people having their rights.

POWERFUL FOCRES = Fox News + Bill Clinton $Billionaire Pete Peterson’s hymnal

Rev. William Barber II of the NAACP said we need = “A VISION to get out.” + “Imagination must come before implementation.” + “(A) prophetic moral vision must…restore…hope (for) the majority.”

Sen. Warren outlined her VISION:

1. “We believe that Wall Street needs stronger rules and tougher enforcement, and we’re willing to fight for it.
2. “We believe no one should work full-time and live in poverty, and that means raising the minimum wage – and we’re willing to fight for it.
3. “We believe people should retire with dignity, and that means strengthening Social Security – and we’re willing to fight for it.
4. “We believe that a kid should have a chance to go to college without getting crushed by debt – and we’re willing to fight for it.
5. “We believe workers have a right to come together, to bargain together and to rebuild America’s middle class – and we’re willing to fight for it.
6. “We believe in equal pay for equal work – and we’re willing to fight for it.
7. “We believe equal means equal, and that’s true in the workplace and in marriage, true for all our families – and we’re winning that fight right now.”

WARREN + BARBER = The “art of the possible.” + “we have to have language…that gets into people’s souls and asks them … Don’t you still want to be human?” + “Don’t tell me it can’t be done.” = “fusion politics” = left/right fusion politics on economic inequality in our society. + 75% of GOP opposes Social Security cuts + 80% of Americans want TOUGH new rules for Wall Street + 90% want STRONG Wall Street Oversight to make and keep the system fair. + Most Americans say government’s top priority should create real jobs rebuilding America. + Most Americans want to END “too big to fail” banks.

Bill De Blasio stunning progressive victory in the NY mayoral race Centered on NY’s new gilded age Wealth inequality resulting in widening income gap between the wealthy and working­class Americans = “The defining challenge of our time.”

GOP + Multinational corporatist Democrats = Want to CUT THE SAFETY NET AND SS

These are positive signs of a potential “fusion” of the People and for the People.

CHALLENGE = Too much money in our political system put ELITISTS in CONTROL! + GOP = Represents BIG MONEY + Far right + MULTINATIONAL CENTRIST Democrats = SAME GOP free-market economic platform = NOTHING FOR THE 99%!

“Politicians see the light when they feel the heat.” — Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN)

1. New Middle Class Growth = Exists in the hearts and minds of the American people.
2. New Middle Class Growth = Exists in the moral outrage Millions feel toward the injustice
3. New Middle Class Growth = Exists in ending our cultural prejudices + unjust laws
4. New Middle Class Growth = Exists in Our Values that says EVERYONE DESERVES THE SAME CHANCES

OUR WORK = Hard work Expressing Our Ideas + Demonstrating Our Commitment + Recruiting NEW friends + Networking with others + Educating ourselves and others + Finding Volunteers + Ignite a grassroots insurgency + Battle both parties to save democracy = Committing deeply to struggle like MLKJR = “The moral arc of the universe is long, but it bends toward justice.” – against the Established Oligarchy

Hillary Clinton uncontested voice of her party = Wall Street-friendly economics and a hawkish foreign policy

Progressives nationwide are yearning for a bold Populist Movement = Who can do that in 2016 presidential Election? = Release the nation from the stranglehold of Multinational Corporate interests buying elections with BIG money and Bribery.

Civil Rights Movement = “They built a movement in spite of the odds….(and) change the temperature of the situation in which you exist!” — Rev Barber

A truly populist and progressive movement must face off against both parties. “I’m sorry to tell you, if no one did, but sometimes Democrats don’t do what they should even when they have the power.” The real solution is “to have an independent movement which says, ‘It doesn’t matter who’s in power! There are some things that are just right and we demand that they be done!’” — Rev Barber

For progress to be made, the demand must come from outside WASHINGTON = The People in a movement already being built = online and in communities people are rising up to challenge the powers that be. = Workers across America are standing up for decent jobs + Citizens are raising a moral voice against injustices + The impoverished, the young, and the locked out are starting to demand jobs and justice.

New leaders will UNITE the willing band of Moral Fighters ready to STOP special interests and big money privileged from Now until forever as Our Founders Demanded.

Warren declared = “The tilt in the playing field is everywhere. When conservatives talk about opportunity, they mean opportunities for the rich to get richer, for the powerful to get more powerful. They don’t mean opportunities for a young person facing $100,000 in student loan debt to start a life, for someone out of work to get back on his feet, for someone who worked hard all her life to retire with dignity….The game is rigged. The rich and the powerful have lobbyists, lobbyists and lawyers and plenty of friends in Congress. Everyone else, not so much.”

The crowd began shouting, “Run, Elizabeth, run.” Clinton cannot be let to run free and unchallenged!

Sen. Sanders = The struggle throughout all of American history has been about the “rights” and “dignity” for those who have been refused or deprived of either. + The ultimate goal for progressives has always been to “create a more just and democratic society” than the one before we live in. = “so few have so much and too many have so little…we need people educating other people; we need people organizing in a way they we have never done before.”

“What we have going for us—that they don’t have going for them—is the overwhelming majority of the Americans (Red and Blue States) agree with virtually everything [that this new populist movement] believes in.”

— Senator Sanders (I-VT) – Progressive and populist movement to counter MONEY influence of corporate interests and Billionaires (Koch brothers) = Need a national effort to organize around the progressive populist message “in all fifty states”

“The stakes are enormously high. What we’re fighting for is whether or not the middle class survives, whether we retain our democratic structure of government or whether we evolve into a political and economic oligarchy. Now is not the time to turn our backs on the struggle. Now is the time to re-double our efforts.”

— Senator Sanders (I-VT)

Populist Movements grow out of Discontent = 30 yrs of Growing WEALTH INEQUALITY

FACT: Profits, productivity and CEO salaries have risen
FACT: Workers haven’t seen any WAGE GROWTH SINCE 1981 REAGANOMICS

BOUGHT LAW-MAKER POLICIES = CAUSED SO-CALLED GREAT RECESSION = WALL STREET FRAUD SCAMS DRIVEN BY MULTINATIONAL BOUGHT SCAMMING POLICIES THE EXTRACT WEALTH FROM 99% OF AMERICANS

BRIBED Policymakers in D.C. = Set the stage for Wall Street’s SCAMS.

Wall Street Executives = Staged and Engaged in the LARGEST SCAMS AND HEIST IN HUMAN HISTORY = $700+ TRILLION IN DERIVATIVES FRAUD = 44+ TIMES USA GDP = UNHEARD OF CRIMES AND GAMBLING BROUGHT THE WORLD TO ITS KNEES!

Then SAME BRIBED POLITICIANS = BAILED OUT THE CRIMINALS WITH $TRILLIONS FROM FED RESERVE AND LEFT THE MIDDLE CLASS AND POOR VICTIMS (WORKERS) TO SUFFER HUMILIATIONS OF LOSSES!

WALL STREET BOUGHT SCAMS = MILLIONS OF LOST JOBS + MILLIONS OF LOST HOMES + MILLIONS OF LOST RETIREMENTS + MILLIONS OF LOST EDUCATIONS + LOST SELF-RESPECT!! = NO WORKER BAILOUTS!

NOW THE 99% SUFFER INFLATION FROM THE $TRILLION IN FREE FED RESERVE LOOT TOSSED AT THE BANKSTERS!

They rig the rules to BENEFIT THEMSELVES = Elizabeth Warren states clearly in her 2012 Democratic Convention speech = “The system is rigged. Look around. Oil companies guzzle down billions in subsidies. Billionaires pay lower tax rates than their secretaries. Wall Street CEOs—the same ones who wrecked our economy and destroyed millions of jobs—still strut around Congress, no shame, demanding favors, and acting like we should thank them.”

“Rising American majority” shows Emerging Awareness = Millennials are entering the worst jobs market since the Great Depression. + Exploited Voter suppressed Minorities + Single Women hardest hit in recession – hard time recovering from it. = Looking for change and open to populist arguments.

WASHINGTON INSIDERS = CLAIM Americans are hungry for a “moderate” MULTINATION CORPORATIST = LIE

Sen. Elizabeth Warren has called for reinstating the Glass­Steagall separation between banking and proprietary trading, insuring that the government is not guaranteeing the losses of Wall Street traders. Let Wall Street RUN ITS CASINOS WITH ITS OWN MONEY separated from OUR MONEY AND DEPOSITS that they are STILL LEVERAGING TO THE MAX! BREAK TRADITIONAL BANKING FREE FROM CRIMINAL GAMBLING SCAMS AND where necessary SPLIT UP BIG MONOPOLY BANKS into smaller more easily REGULATED parts that CAN BE PROSECUTED and IMPRISONED WHEN NECESSARY!
