Donald Trump says to Mitt Romney, “….do not apologize,” on
NBC’s Today Show.
Mitt Romney dis 47% of the U.S. population
Mitt Romney’s recent remarks are more than just
controversial remarks. His remarks hurt the poor, youth, unemployed mothers
with no husbands, the economically marginalized, and the struggling so-called
47%. The poor are not freeloaders. It is
this percentage of the population that is hurting the most in the global
economic and racist crisis. It is imperative that the American public understands that the
pain that we are feeling as a nation economically is not confined to the U.S.
It is wonderful that finally the poor have become an issue in
the 2012 U.S. Presidential election. So much of the focus has been on the middle
class and in saving the middle class. Thanks to the Mitt Romney leak the poor
have become an issue, and a part of this election’s dialogue.
As the world’s resources continue to shrink and the economic
crisis continues, it is amazing that in 2008 the crisis became a surprise to
some of the so-called best thinkers and educated folks of our time. Has capitalism maxed itself out, and how do we
move in a new direction? How do we move the coach potatoes, the materially
consumed, the disconnected, and the discontent? Not only is a New Deal needed, but a New
Reality, and a new American, in this moment in American and world history.
