With the top 1% of the country now in possession of 30% of the wealth
of our economy, and with the federal deficit completely out of
control, it is time to let the misguided tax cuts for the wealthy
expire.
Extend ONLY Middle Class Tax Cuts Action Page:
http://www.peaceteam.net/action/pnum1062.php In the first place, they did not work. We were told that they would
stimulate the economy and create jobs. They did not. All the rich did
was hoard more and more of their money.
Secondly, what really stimulates the economy is when people who are
NOT rich have money to spend on the things they need. Yet the most
heartless members of Congress propose balancing the budget on the
backs of people who cannot make ends meet as it is.
Worse yet, the Republicans are threatening to shut down the business
of Congress until their most greedy constituents, the only ones they
represent at all, get to keep their reserved seat at the pig trough.
And it is the road to utter economic collapse and disaster. The last
time distribution of wealth was so unequal was just before the Great
Depression, and we all know how that turned out.
So let the overgenerous tax cuts for the wealthy expire. Enough is
more than enough.
And after you submit the action page, please consider picking up one
of the new "Last War Crime" movie caps to help promote the new
feature film we will start shooting in just two more weeks. You can
help us promote the launch of this new movie by getting one of these
caps and starting a conversation about its upcoming release.
"The Last War Crime" is the story of what would have happened, and
what should still happen, if any member of the Justice Department had
the integrity to prosecute the war criminals who told knowing lies to
get us entrapped into endless and counterproductive occupations of
both Iraq and Afghanistan, using false confessions obtained by
torture to sell them.
Any donation you can make allows us to employ good progressive
activists as cast and crew to make this new creative media project a
reality. With your kind support we will have this destined to be
controversial new film playing in theaters all over the country in
the new year as a policy advocacy action. So here is a link directly
to the page where you can get your own "Last War Crime" cap.
