instead of kill the working class who are even more down the line, still to feed families, yet, worse off then working class, they are the working poor, that grwoing number.
scabs. instead of kill the scab, how about kill the boss? ignorance is stupid. heck, lets avoid death altogether and really GET united, you nimrod elite, WAKE UP before its too late!
we are all going down if we don’t ALL wake up!
