to build
a peace time economy
that put 60 million of us

============================

are you 25-35 with a BA ???


then suck your fuckin thumb puss face


=============================

"The labor market for young college graduates,
those ages 25 to 35,
remains much weaker than before
the last recession in 2001.

It has been 20 years
since young college graduates
have experienced employment rates
as low as those experienced
in the last five years.

The real hourly wages
of young college graduates
have picked up slightly
over the last year
after declines
for three years in a row.

Hourly wages in 2005 were $23.10,
up from $23.03 in 2004,
but still below the level
of $23.77 in 2001.

The failure of wages to recover
can be attributed to slow employment growth.

Compared to the last "jobless recovery"
of the early 1990s,
employment rates of young college graduates
have fallen farther
and failed to bounce back.

In 1989, the peak year before the last recession,
the employment rate for this group was 87.7%,
similar to their employment rate in 2000 (87.4%),
the most recent peak year.

Five years later, by 1994,
the employment rate of young college grads
had fully recovered,
as compared to the 1.9 percentage point decline
between the 2000 peak and 2005 (85.5%).


from the mid-1990s through 2000,
employment exceeded 87.4%
each year.

we go no where


 for the 80% of private sector workers that 
are neither straw bosses nor real pros 

here's the last years results ...on average 

you went no where 
comp wise 

========================
" 2004,  wages were $18.07 per hour 
and  fringe benefits were $7.50 per hour
 total compensation was $25.57


 2005,  wages were $18.59 per hour
and  fringe benefits were $7.87 per hour 
 total compensation was $26.46

so

2-004    2-005

18.07     18.59    + 2.9%

7.50        7.87     + 4.9%

25.57      26.46     + 3.5 %

 
consumer prices rose by 3.4%
 a wash

what in hell does that mean


Between these two classes 
there is

 an irrepressible 
               economic conflict

an irrepressible 
               economic conflict

an irrepressible 
               economic conflict


yup 
each klass just gotta do
                       what it gotta do 





this is the text/ context 

gene debs 1905 :


"We are engaged today in a class war; 

and why? 

For the simple reason 
that in the evolution
 of the capitalist system 
in which we live
 society has been mainly divided 
           into two economic classes

a small class of capitalists
 who own the tools 
with which work is done
 and wealth is produced
 and 
a great mass of workers 
who are compelled to use those tools


Between these two classes 
          there is
         an irrepressible 
               economic conflict " 


irrepressible economic conflict 

and what makes it so irrepressible 

capitalism  in its contemporary
form can't help but rip itself apart by klass


the trans national corporation 
with  its genetic  drive for  ever higher profits

must to surviveeagainst its colleagues 
  extract the maximum blood possible 
 from its job force 

and because ieach of these trans nats
 must do this
 maximize to  survive   
as a klass they  can not 
                       forever 
   subdued  their  wage klass ...

 their  political system 
may well be compelled to try

both carrot and stick

 yes sometimes 
 even in spite of 
the trans nats narrow desires 
 their state 
 can make changes  to itself 

try druging the wage klass
          by rewarding 
          it for good behaviour 

 but  there comes an  inevitable
  point 
     where  too much more  blood  is needed
         and the suckingmust be cut 
             the point           
                   where even
               chrome chains and whips 
can't subdue the  laboring brute
   
 and it tries ripping free 
 of its  shackles
 coming down off its  cross of gold 
 
          and  go wild 

                 go on a rampage

     here in norte amerika 
    its  now 
          25 years 
            of ever greater extractions 
   
       the great ape  puffs 

                 snaps his arms forward
                          against the restraints
                growls a low eyed growl 
   
            the moment grows near
 
                         prepare yourself

"You have chosen 
to serve the people 
who do the real work 
  of our society 
who build our buildings, 
who teach our children. 
 The people who run into burning buildings
 when everyone else runs out. 
 The people who dig the coal
 and run the power plants 
and fix the power lines
 and tend the mentally ill 
and collect the garbage. 
 The people who clean the hospitals
 and drive the trucks 
and stock our supermarkets
 and work in this very hotel 
and thousands like it....."


 what a double cheek ass kiss .....

  their charity their  altruism

  eating this shit for the love of it 

    lose em johnny 
cause 
you can't use em 

if they don't 
get a  ripping high in their gut 
at the thought  
of torching the tower trolls 

at the mere idea 
 of beating the exploiteers senseless 

 what use will they be in a scrap
