The Federal Minimum Wage in the U.S. is $7.25 per hour, while the Top 5 Paid CEOs all make more than $8.91 per second (over $30,000 an hour). So here’s a new version of The Star-Spangled Banner to fit the times we live in.
#Occupy 2nd anniversary today. Nearly 8,000 protesters have been arrested since then. The gap between the rich & poor is still growing. Enjoy what you have, it may not last long. However “It’s always the ruling elite determine the configure of revolt.”
You don’t know Jack! Neither did I, till I kept driving by & seeing this flashing sign “NO WAR” off the 5 freeway. I just wanted to get a up close pic. As I was getting closer this guy comes out of the dark. After some conversation he tells me his name is “Jack” has been arrested 54 times & was sentenced to 7 years in federal prison denouncing the Iraq war and Bush on ham radio. He’s in his early 80’s & I have a feeling he’s not going to stop.
