Dobbs: Middle class needs to fight back now
Rare political post from me…
Sick of the the political parties selling the middle class short and pandering to corporations and lobbyists? What can you do about it? Lou Dobbs at CNN offers the following suggestion.
“There’s something all of us could do that would have an immediate impact and send a powerful message to both corporation-dominated political parties and to our elected officials in Washington. Our so-called representatives in both parties have been working against the interests of the middle class for so long that they take our votes for granted, or they take advantage of the fact that a sizable number of us don’t vote at all.
So what if a majority of us decided once and for all to walk into our town and city halls all over the country and change our party affiliation from Republican or Democrat to independent? What if that sizable number of us who don’t vote at all decided to register as independents? For the first time in decades, working middle-class Americans might just get the attention of our elected officials in Washington.”
