'Take Back Chicago' rally calls for social, economic justice


My only question, what took them so long?

The minute old Ronald Reagan launched his war on drugs, and slashing mental health funding, each and every city and state should have demanding from our congressional representatives funding for the chaos that followed.

Any sane person knew letting mentally unstable people loose upon its cities would bring an uptick in crime. But what happened instead? Our politicians fell asleep at the wheel and let the lunatic have his way. There are things in life that one just cannot do. Slashing funding for mental health institutions is among them.

Closing public schools and funneling the money elsewhere leads parents with fewer choices when seeking quality education for their children. Lying to the American people about the minimum wage is a travesty in itself. These politicians, and their well to do counterparts never go inside an actual grocery store, or buy gasoline and actually see a receipt. If they did, they would know what the people are truly paying. They send a low wage employee for such chores. Someone should inform the egg-head that runs the Congressional Budget Office, that they should go into a grocery store in any community, Black, White, or Brown, and buy a weeks worth of food. They just might pass the fuck out when they get the bill. Yet here they are leaking that the cost of living adjustment for people on Social Security may be the "Lowest" in years. And don't even get me started on crime. The only way you can "Take Back" your cities, and states, is for all of us to stop voting for lying, mentally unstable people. You know a lie when you hear it. Vet your candidates.

Sleep at the wheel politicians. Thanks for the chaos that followed.
