Thanks to UAW retiree Jerry Sykes for sending us this.

Relaxing and soaking in their ocean of billions and billions of dollars, they never saw this day coming. Why would they? They privately refer to themselves as “The Owners.” They own the country. They own the politicians. They think they own you and me. In just this decade alone the Big 3 car companies made off with profits — profits! — of a quarter trillion dollars! Other fat cats have bought up all the media so that their version of the truth is virtually all we see. They’ve almost succeeded in turning our democracy into an autocracy, and their thievery has resulted in the top 1% of them owning more wealth than the bottom 90% while 61% of all Americans must live from paycheck to paycheck. According to the Federal Reserve, nearly 40% of our fellow citizens do not at any given time have $400 of available cash in their pockets for an emergency expense.
