I cannot agree that criticism of affirmative action is
always racially tainted but Jarvis Tyner, American Communist Party
leader, is quite right about poor blacks ( and poor people in general )
being kicked off welfare with utter meanness and coldness - and going
from low income to no income. ( See People's Weekly World, Aug. 15 )
Just this morning I read an " inspiring " welfare to work story
in the - let's say it! - BOURGEOIS PRESS.
But just thinking about it for a moment, I smelled a rat ! Of
course the vast majority of poor people " rescued " from welfare
end up in stinking pit jobs - highly exploitive and alas even highly
insecure.
With no SOCIAL CONTRACT essentially saying that our government
has a moral obligation to care for the down and out, these former
" underclass " workers are just plain fodder for the most ruthless
exploitation.
Perhaps this vast so called " under class " needs a few lessons in
1930s style UNIONISM . Could the big bad Teamsters - once a downright
radical union - help them to organize and champion their cause ?
Could this country get as bad as present day CAPITALIST
Russia ?
