It is not a fight between the left and right.

It is not a fight between the Democrats and Republicans.

It is a fight between the 1% and 99%.

It is a fight between the haves and have nots.

We must not take our eyes off the ball. That is the purpose of scapegoating, that is the ultimate goal of getting us to fight each other,

that is the distraction while the rich and powerful pull our strings. That is Reagan blaming the welfare queen. I take my inspiration from the great Muhammad Ali, who was arrested for draft resistance, sentenced to 5 years in prison, banned from boxing, fined $10,000, and who said: I will not go 10,000 miles away from home here in America to drop bombs and bullets on other innocent brown people who's never bothered us and I will say directly, no I will not go 10,000 miles to help (to) kill.

Mr. Green, I remember that Ali, who was my age, said "No Vietnamese ever called me a

N....r."
