So, what are some things we could drop federal funding for that

[Ilsa]

disproportionately assist the wealthy, those that don't want to pay taxes on their investment income or estates? Things that show that what they pay in taxes helps protect them?

What if we start with lowering the amount of deposits covered by FDIC from, $100,000 (or whatever it is) to only $10,000, and then make them pay their own insurance on deposits for the excess? Could this also be done with investment accounts insurance? Let private industry take over the insurance, since they want govt out of everything the private sector could handle.

1. First, reinstate the FULL estate tax, second, reinstate a progressive

income tax where the tax burden is borne by the wealthy.

2. ITA, but what can we take from them in govt support that they are

totally used to? Something they feel entitled to? Like the govt protections for their wealth? I mention this because they are talking about doing this in ways that affect the middle class and poor disproportionately.

3. Dump ALL benefits for politicians. They aren't worth it.

[Ilsa]

5. If most workers lose their heath insurance and pensions, I think

politicians should also.

7. Damn straight. This is what we really need to protest.

4. I'm all for slashing the military budget by about 75%

6. We'll all be vulnerable, but they'll have more to lose!!! That

might make an impression on them, at least as a threat.
