CAN'T WE START TO
TAKE CARE OF OUR OWN PROBLEMS HERE AT HOME AND LET THE REST OF THE WORLD TAKE
CARE OF THEIRS ???Wall Street and American corporations continue making record
profits and paying themselves HUGE bonuses. CEO compensation is up 27% for 2010
-- the largest pay increases in history. The richest 400 Americans have more
wealth than half of all American households combined while the effective tax
rate on the nation’s richest has fallen by half in the last 20 years. And the
top 1% control 40% of the nation's wealth.
Two-thirds of
American corporations pay ZERO income tax while hiding massive profits in
off-shore accounts. And, as the United States fights two colonial wars over
oil, speculators and oil companies haven driven oil and food to prices unaffordable
for many Americans. And still our government gives BILLIONS in billions in tax
breaks, loopholes, and handouts to oil companies, drug companies, insurance,
agri-business, banking and corporations while underwriting and protecting Wall
Street banks at taxpayer expense.
Meanwhile, the
backbone of America has been all but crushed with ZERO wage growth over
multiple decades and nearly 30% of Americans unemployed or underemployed.
Forty-five MILLION Americans live in POVERTY, record numbers of veterans are
HOMELESS and HUNGRY, one of every four American CHILD LIVES WITH HUNGER,
millions have been THROWN INTO THE STREETS by the nation's banks while millions
of our nation's youth suffer under PREDATORY student loans, and the only credit
to most is USURY or none.
YET we're going to
BALANCE THE BUDGET on the backs of the WORKING CLASS, ELDERLY, CHILDREN,
VETERANS, POOR and most VULNERABLE??? America DOES NOT have a budget crisis --
it has a MORAL and RESPONSIBILITY CRISIS. Our government has undeniably sold
out the public interest while the rich and elite continue stuffing their
pockets at YOUR EXPENSE.
REVOLUTION IS COMING
TO AMERICA. Are YOU a patriot or coward?
