Mumia Abu-Jamal -- Why Social Security's Fall is Near!

Everybody wins -- except the workers. This war against workers, unless it is vigorously opposed by workers fighting in their own class interests, will result in nightmares where elderly must work until they drop dead. For, with no pensions, and no social security, how can it be otherwise? This business-friendly, labor-hating government is actually trying to set up a judicial, administrative, media regime that will undo the New Deal. After the Great Depression of 1929, mass movements, such as rent riots, sit-ins, marches, and great demonstrations, struck the country. One such movement was for pensions for those who spent their lives working in hard toil. Movements such as these in the 1930s changed things. Scholars Frances Fox Piven and (the late) Richard Cloward, noted, in *The New Class War: Reagan's Attack on the Welfare State and Its Consequences* (Pantheon Books: 1982/1985 [revised/expanded edition]), p. 118: "In other words, the movements changed reality; they transformed the State."

My opinion: This Gov. does not dare mention, there is no S.S. payment for millions of Baby Boomers. That will start the greatest revolt ever. They may not have it. But to say it, would be the final straw.
