The rich get richer and the poor get poorer

Protests are being held across the country today in what organizers call the "largest-ever mobilization of underpaid workers." Fast-food workers in 230 cities are walking off the job as part of the "Fight for $15" campaign, a push for a $15-an-hour minimum wage and the right to form a union.

The picture of the oppression of the common man and its resemblance to today is plain to be seen:--The poverty, the lack of representation, the trampling of human rights, and the blind despotism of a desperate and dying monarchy, are obvious parallels to similarities today--in an England where the poor are getting poorer and the rich richer, and further and further apart, and neither seems to know they are both headed on a crash course to destruction.

It's happening so gradually that global government will just be a logical next step. The poor of the world will certainly embrace it. At the moment, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, and those who are poverty-stricken won't think it can get any worse. I'm just saying there are going to be an awful lot of people who are poor and hungry because of the depression. There are going to be a lot more poor than there used to be. A lot of people who have been rich, by comparison they're going to be poor.
