La Cucaracha by Lalo Alcaraz for September 01, 2014

You and too many other people in this country, Cuco. And for far too long.

Unemployment affects all kinds of people from all walks of life across all ages. It is not limited to a certain group of people.

So, indie, are you calling off your campaign to eliminate La Cucaracha from the pages of your newspaper? And what comics would you suggest Lalo take a look at as models? Which are the ones that bring you light and joy? Let’s at least hear that, in the interest of true dialogue.

I like this comic just the way it is. There are plenty of comics that are light and fluffy. I like those, also.

The deepest recession since the Great Depression is over on Wall Street, for the bankers. It just hasn’t gotten over for working people because all the money is going to the top 1-5% of wage earners……………………………………………………

…………….The only thing that is going to save the Middle Class is the Middle Class. We are the 99%—- that means we have the votes to elect people who will actually represent middle class workers and provide a safety net for those who are trying to get into the middle class……………………………………………..

We all need to know who is supporting the candidates. That is who they will be working for. They have no choice if they want to stay in office. You have to do the bidding of whoever is paying your way, just the same as we all do in our jobs. So, before going to vote, look it up on the internet. Open Secrets is a good site, but there are plenty…………………………………………If the candidate is getting their money from small donors or from unions, they are going to be working for middle class working people. If their donations are from corporations or from 1%ers, that’s who their votes are going to be working for. They are not going to go against them and do anything to help the middle class………………………………………………………………It would be political suicide.

Sadly, enough of the 99% won’t vote, so that we will throw the rascals back in for another term or more.
