We have BILLIONS to spend on WAR,
but no money to spend on the American People!

"The Sequester" is just the latest SCAM so that nobody in Washington has to take responsibility for Cutting programs vital to the Working Class and Poor.

"We didn't cut Meals-on-Wheels.
The Sequester did it!!!"

[font size=3]"The worst enemy of humanity is U.S. capitalism. That is what provokes uprisings like our own, a rebellion against a system, against a neoliberal model, which is the representation of a savage capitalism. If the entire world doesn't acknowledge this reality, that nation states are not providing even minimally for health, education and nourishment, then each day the most fundamental human rights are being violated."[/font]
----Bolivian Reform President Evo Morales


If that statement by President Morales sounds "radical" to you,
it shouldn't. FDR said much the same thing in 1944 with his Economic Bill of Rights.
There was a time when voting FOR The Democrat
was voting FOR those same values.



You will know them by their [font size=3]WORKS.[/font]

the general welfare through doing the bidding of the plutocrats bothers me a lot too, Senator Sanders.

to "protect" those whose basic needs are being cut off by their own congresspeople. That bothers me a lot.

We need to protect you from terrorists but we resent helping you in your life's struggles.

Anyone ever see him get interviewed by David Gregory-Rove or the rest of the pundits of Corporate McPravda?
