It doesn't matter if we work at a desk or a drive thru, behind a cash register or behind the wheel of a truck, if we break our backs on a dock or in a hospital ward. All working class people deserve what we're owed.

Just dropping a comment to express my appreciation for the "by hand or by brain" line. I'm all for standing up for "the little man", but too many people believe that the little man doesn't include working your ass off for a paycheck at a desk.

The ones who worked for Eric, our loved one who was VP when he was 29, all liked him. They say so every year (he died on September 11 in Tower 1) and give precise examples of why. One even said "he came into work early all the time." So did the other VP, I think he was the Sr. VP. Everyone who was there when it happened died and were hacked into pieces, while the tower fell on them and gathered weight as it fell.

Office workers are exposed to humiliating abuse every day and far too often nobody seems to care. Vomiting every morning from the stress, working longer hours without more pay...

And almost all of us use both. Skilled trades, artisans, healthcare workers, scientists, tailors, hairdressers... They see us as just productivity generating units, but in reality, we're all hand workers, and we're all brain workers. And we should be treated accordingly.

Never forget, and NEVER forget, that every single thing that makes your life bearable was won for you by someone's sweat, blood, or outright life. The eight hour day, the lunch break, the federal holiday, the minimum wage -- as inadequate as it is now -- all the result of people, of good fellows just like you, who were willing to put the only thing they had on the line because they could tell that the world was not giving them their fair share, and if not for them, they wanted it for those who came after them. There's a reason that the worker's flag is deepest red, because it represents the only thing the worker has to give, and to lose. Never, never forget it. Because I assure you, the fat cats who don't want you to have it -- who want to wring even more blood from your stone, who want you to have nothing so they can have everything -- have not forgotten.

Yeah, this one's for the workers who toil night and day By hand and by brain to earn your pay Who for centuries long past for no more than your bread Have bled for your countries and counted your dead In the factories and mills, in the shipyards and mines We've often been told to keep up with the times For our skills are not needed, they've streamlined the job And with sliderule and stopwatch our pride they have robbed We're the first ones to starve the first ones to die The first ones in line for that pie-in-the-sky And always the last when the cream is shared out For the worker is working when the fat cat's about And when the sky darkens and the prospect is war Who's given a gun and then pushed to the fore And expected to die for the land of our birth Though we've never owned one lousy handful of earth?

The average CEO-to-worker pay ratio in this group was 603 to 1. Similarly, data from the Economic Policy Institute found wage disparity has significantly increased over time: CEOs were paid 344 times as much as a typical worker in 2022, up from an average pay ratio of 21 to 1 in 1965. But, you know....SHAREHOLDER VALUE!!!!
