Dr. King was a giant of a man and not afraid to take a stand against injustice. In 1968 the year Dr. King was assassinated he was planning a Poor People’s March to Washington D.C. to stage a “tent-in” and planned to camp out for as long as it took to bring attention to the fact that there needed to be a redistribution of wealth in America. This country is not broke. The problem is that 3% of the population controls 90% of the wealth in this nation.
It’s amazing how the wool has been pulled over the American Public’s eyes and we tend to operate in la la land with poor people always looking for the pie in the sky, and the so called middle class thinking that they are all that plus a bag of chips because they have a mortgage, a car payment, kids in private school, and a job they could lose in the twinkling of an eye or even one good illness that disables them. Then their insurance company starts hemming and hawing about coverage. The median income of American households is about $50,000 per year. This figure is mighty close to the poverty line which is at about $23,000 for a family of four. Where oh where has all the money gone? Oh I know into 3% of the populations pockets.
Please somebody tell me why the wealthy should not be taxed. Money is not concerned about public schools because money is an inanimate object controlled by people. So in reality to rich people it really doesn’t matter because somebody has to be at the bottom of the economic ladder.
