Hummm, where to start.

I'm a government employee (sadly). I'm 39 yo and mad as hell.

I was raised a liberal New England Democrat by my parents, and this political foundation has caused me to gravitate towards Communism.

I have sworn as a US soldier to defend the constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic. But I see the constitution being abused every day by the rich bourgeois. The constitution was supposed to create a livable basis for everyone. (Communism defined in essence) But the elitist, Christist rich fuckers who run the US have perverted what was supposed to be a government 'By the PEOPLE, for the PEOPLE.' into a big corporate playground where the uber-rich get richer and the workers and middle class get to suck it.

WTF?!?!? I didn't sign up to make the rich even richer, I signed up to defend my fellow 'free' citizens and workers.

I come from a middle Middle class family (both my parents were school teachers.)

I have seen how little freedom the American worker has. Work for a corporate slave wage or starve. It drives me crazy that 2% of US citizens own 90% of its wealth.

I can grind on and on of what I hate and love about America, but I'm just introducing myself.

Long live the Dictatorship of the Proletariat!!

Man, what a time to be a public employee in Cali :(!

I can't believe some of the nutty things I hear from right-wing people around here sometimes:

"Don't they know it's a recession and a lot of people are out of work - the only thing that's going to fix it is when we fire all the public sector union workers" WTF? Do these people get a stomach ache and try to cure it by pouring acid into their stomach to dissolve the nerve-endings?! Quench their thirst with salt-water?

My mom was a teacher and that's a whole other place of frustration right now - people blaming teachers, public sector unions, immigrants for the poor economy... man the rich have really pulled one over on some people.

Hopefully we'll begin to see some fight-back in these areas. I think the student-protests may have an effect of showing people that you can stand-up against budget cuts, furloughs and state-imposed austerity.
