[image: image.png] opening thoughts my facebook post and then a story from yesterday: Time to ask the Question who do you fear? Immigrants who repair your roofs, pick your lettuce and work in your nursing homes, clean your restaurants, work on your oil rigs, care for your kids (got a nanny in your life) pay into social security to the tune of billions and get NOTHING back, stabilize struggling communities that are losing populations and essential workers OR the Millionaires and Billionaires who pay next to nothing in taxes (don’t even get me started about the pass they get on paying social security) while they bust your unions and underpay you for the work you do to make them F..Kin rich, buy up all the housing stock and then screw you with the rent, monopolize all the goods you need to buy so not only are you denied choice but the crap you buy cost a pretty penny, buy and sell the politicians that write the laws to protect their massive wealth driving up the deficit and then demand that your medicaid and SNAP benefits should get cut and YOUR public school dollars should pay for their kid to go to some exclusive prep school …. I could go on but boy have we been manipulated and played and now on top of all of this Trump wants to take away your rights from muzzling the media to protesting in the streets to exercising the franchise WAKE UP…Perspective is everything and the rich have worked overtime at averting our eyes PS actually the murders and robbers are the billionaires-the cuts they demand in govt programs are going to kill tens of thousands of Americans and they have robbed this country blind by demanding tax cuts and then sucking off the government teat with their federal contracts and sweet heart deals Trump reverses himself on deportation sorta Amid escalating immigration enforcement and business backlash, President Donald Trump has said his administration is drafting a temporary pass system for undocumented workers in agriculture and hospitality sectors hit hard by labour shortages. The plan would give farmers limited oversight while maintaining Trump’s broader push to deport illegal immigrants.
