Why do we tolerate the off-loading of private
corporate debt onto hard-working, tax-paying citizens?

7. Personally
I'm looking to participate in any progressive angry mob that will have me!

It looks like we're in the beginning stages of the French Revolution, if you believe history repeats itself.

9. The well-fed do not revolt.
And the over-fed are too busy eating to even realize there's a problem.

8. Privatize profits.. socialize debt.....
It all started with St. Ronnie over 30 years ago... but no one (hardly anyone) was quick enough to connect the dots.

NAFTA, off shoring, trickle down, right vs left, MSM distraction with phony hot-button issues to distract the masses...

They have only begun.. they (Plutocrat-Corp Masters) won't stop until they have completely erased the middle class in America and they have sucked every last penny from every bank account.

12. Because too many people don't have a clue how much the burden of corporate welfare steals from them.
Virtually every moment and facet of their lives is taxed to support these parasites.

14. Because...

NOW we have Your Children’s Money too !!!
And there is not a fucking thing you can do about it!
Now THIS is “Bi-Partisanship” !
Better get used to it!!
Hahahahahahahahaha!



My Wife & I quit.
We sold everything, moved to The Woods, and planted a BIG garden.
We live well on a low "taxable" income.
Wall Street can live or die without our money or concern.
So can the Democratic Party if it keeps going in the same direction they are now.
