Flowings of Your Everlasting Taffyman

Whats next after they tell you a living wage is too much to ask?
Convince you to settle because they have the power.
No one gives a fuck because it "doesn't affect" them, but when they come for you who will be left?

This is the way capitalism commits murder.

Of course no one is dying from not getting the extra 1.50 or whatever it is per day. But if they cant keep up with a living wage then what are they forced to sacrifice? How good of a job do you get from those who are too stressed to operate productively? How do you build community when those who hold it together, who manage the little things, are sick, tired, anxious, from working two/three jobs, from trying to get by on not enough food, from freezing just a little bit more in the winter and exhaustion from heat just a little more often in the summer.

History has taught us that people lost their lives for our safety, for our freedom, for our security.. but I'm not talking about just soldiers here, I'm talking about the unions that brought you the minimum wage, benefits, weekends, labor protection laws.
I'm talking about the people who gave up a lot, so that we could go to college, so that our families could become middle class, so that we could buy our bullshit ipods and computers.
The people who gave us hope about a "good job" in the future.
The same people who we let fall now, without support when our state representatives have already guaranteed them the money...

Whats next?
you are.
