Remember--- Ad Hominem ridicule by naysayers means nothing!!! They are brainwashed into a Wall Street driven False Consciousness!!! You are right!!!

False Consciousness- The idea that workers could be co-opted by the perceived possibility of upward mobility into supporting a social system that was against their own interest. (Babeuf)

You know the current carrot of prosperity is a joke for us 99%. What hope exists FOR ALL Americans to better ourselves?

Until politicians and corporations wake up to the fact that this needs to be, again, OUR LAND OF OPPORTUNITY, not THEIR 1% LAND OF EXPLOITATION---please continue!!!

WHERE ARE OUR OPPORTUNITIES, POLITICIANS? WE AMERICANS ALL DESERVE, WE AMERICANS DEMAND, THE OPPORTUNITY TO BETTER OURSELVES!!!

All Americans deserve opportunity (chosen opportunity definition- A set of circumstances that makes it possible to do something---in this case--- better ourselves.) The Opportunity to better ourselves encompasses more than having jobs (although jobs are critically important too.)
Given the definition of Opportunity is not equivalent to the definition of Jobs (it’s unclear why you create a “freedom vs. jobs” type False-Dichotomy , then followed it up with an ad hominem-ish statement "that's crazy.”We need freedom AND Opportunity (opportunity, once again, generally includes jobs---among other things"))
Do you work for Fox News? Are you a just another troll? Are you just a shill for the corrupt political/corporate elite? Are you trying to get ahead with your reply by showing your post to your masters/cronies saying “See what I did, I’m a good boy, please promote me.”? Do you just need some attention and a hug, but find the only way you know how to get attention is with negative posts (pretty sad)? Opportunity is the freedom to better ourselves (in whatever way, shape, or form we choose.) Is Freedom important---Absolutely!!! It's so important that it deserves a separate post This political/corporate oligarchy we are currently in, is destroying what made America great---Opportunity.
