Media is IGNORING the plight of the middle class and poor. A man commits suicide, do you care?

Man Kills Himself Holding 'Tax The 1%' in Front of the Capitol -- and Nobody Hears About It

The exhortation of the unknown man's sign is focused and direct, and frighteningly accurate.

 

On the kind of beautiful sunny day when hope springs eternal, an older gentleman wearing a backpack walked over by the fountain in front of the Capitol Building in Washington DC. And a sign. According to people who saw him, it said simply:
                                   “Tax The 1%”
The police captain on the scene who addressed the news cameras eerily avoided the question, mumbling that it was “something about social justice,” as if he were annoyed to address any specifics. So, we know nothing else. Not even a name was given. A dog run over by car might have gotten more respect and news coverage than this unknown man.
