Comments on: Wanna Fix the Economy? Give Workers a Raise http://www.dissidentvoice.org/2008/04/wanna-fix-the-economy-give-workers-a-raise/ a radical newsletter in the struggle for peace and social justice Mon, 08 Sep 2008 02:42:38 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: Don Hawkins http://www.dissidentvoice.org/2008/04/wanna-fix-the-economy-give-workers-a-raise/#comment-18422 Don Hawkins Tue, 15 Apr 2008 18:45:40 +0000 http://www.dissidentvoice.org/2008/04/wanna-fix-the-economy-give-workers-a-raise/#comment-18422 http://www.columbia.edu/~jeh1/mailings/20080414_GovernorGibbons.pdf James Hansen new a must read. The good guy's against the big guy's and how do we get this done? I don't know anybody got any ideas. Revolution how about this: A major fight is brewing – it may be called war. On the one side, we find the short-term financial interests of the fossil fuel industry. On the other side: young people and other beings who will inherit the planet. It seems to be an uneven fight. The fossil fuel industry is launching a disinformation campaign and they have powerful influence in capitals around the world. Young people seem pretty puny in comparison to industry moguls. Animals are not much help (don’t talk, don’t vote). The battle may start with local and regional skirmishes, one coal plant or other issue at a time, but it will need to build rapidly – we are running out of time.

Very readable. Unfortunately for us (working class) I doubt that greater wealth distribution is in the plans of our government. The chasm between rich and poor will only widen and only God knows how many of us will be sacrificed into the gaping crack as a result. Great informative article! Very readable.
