“America’s economy and democracy are working for the benefit of an ever-fewer privileged and powerful people. But rather than just complain about it or give up on the system, we must join together and make it work for all of us.” This is Amazon’s intro to Robert Reich’s book, “Beyond Outrage.”
And the graphic above from his book is exactly what the GOBAG’s recite each day. What’s a GOBAG? You remember, these are Columbia’s Good Ole’ Boys And Girls … the one’s who retain and restrain.
Reading through Reich’s column, “Freedom, Power and the Conservative Mind,” …the GOBAGs mantra rings over and over.
“If most of the people you talk to agree with you, you’re wasting your time. You need to engage with people who may disagree or who haven’t thought hard about the issues.” – Robert Reich

And if you buy Reich’s new book, “Beyond Outrage,” from Amazon, you are sending your money to another of those bad huge corporations, i.e., Amazon. Buy the book, but buy it from a local bookstore, or take it out from the library. Most money you spend at big box stores, which includes online behemoth’s like Amazon, goes away from your community for good. However, if you buy from a local book store, as an example Aaron’s Books in Littitz, the owner lives in the community, so most of the money you spend there remains in the community. Remember that the next time you decide to buy at Barnes & Noble, or Amzaon, or Walmart, etc.
