I do not feel good about a pension that is built on unjust and exploitative relationships.
Minerals like gold are obtained by brutal force . Poor farmers have there land expropriated against their will. The gold is dug-up from under ground, destroying fast tracks of land and millions of gallons of water. The gold is then melted into goldbricks and sold to the rich. The rich bury the gold under ground in the cellars !!!!!!!
I am not interested in moderation of the truth
I have signed the petition because my faith tells me that we are to be in solidarity with those who are oppressed.
