Obama. Handing out more to the rich.

USA: Workers In Action.
Obama announced a two year salary freeze on Monday in the Wall Street Journal. Then on Tuesday he made the same announcement in the Financial Times. Then on Tuesday he repeated this again in the New York Times. He is making sure we all get the message.

And he is letting the Wall Street crooks and financial swindlers get the message too. He is telling they can keep their gains their big bonuses and their big tax cuts. Think about this. At the same time he is cutting workers wages he is filling the pockets of the super rich. Is there no depths to which he will not stoop?

It is simple. Obama and his regime are made up of the most rapacious capitalist representatives. They have no priority other than to fill their own pockets and the pockets of their class. They have no shame. So they cut the wages of working people and take every step they can to fill the pockets and bank accounts of themselves and their class. The only way they will be stopped is by the mobilized power of the working class.

We need to stop trying to figure out that there must be something more complicated here. There is not. It is pure greed, pure addiction to profit and power, it is the pure workings of the capitalist system. We have to stand up for ourselves, openly oppose the offensive of capitalism against us and go on an offensive of our own. Our offensive will be fighting for the following:

#Not a single concession on wages jobs or conditions or rights.
#For a $15.00 an hour minimum wage or a $5.00 an hour increase which ever is the greater.
#For free health care, education and affordable housing for all at the point of use.
#For a democratic socialist society.

Sean,
