An open letter to Arianna Huffington, posted today on huffingtonpost.com

Dear Arianna,

I have to contradict you on one point. It is becoming crystal clear that Obama did not expect different results. He is a front person for corporatism whose obvious first focus is to reduce the cost of global labor in order for the corporate elite to rip off more of the wealth our labor created/creates.

This corporate elite is educated in the "best" universities to think of themselves as deserving of their status ... in the continuum of slavery, feudalism, fascism, ye olde company store ... always establishing a political/economic/religious structure that makes the denial of a fair share for labor of the wealth labor creates appear legitimate ... even the describing the structure/system as the Hand/Will of whatever God is ascendant at the time.

The basic political question is the division of wealth ... going back to the tribal hunt when the spoils were divided among the tribe. IMHO.

It is time to have a march on Washington ... for Cherry Blossom time ... each of us with resources left helping a homeless/unemployed person/family make the journey with us to lobby our Representatives and Senators in Congress. This should be obvious out of the history of we the people descending on Washington to have our voices heard.

All we need is a leader of our own to call us to action. Will you be that leader, Arianna?

Best regards,
HG Lindquist
