1% REAP WAR PROFITS - 99% PAY WAR COSTS

The cost of two wars the 1% refuses to pay.
The 1% pays the Republican Party to pledge that way.
The 99% pay for wars with their taxes, some with their lives.
On war profits, the corruption and greed of the 1% thrives.

PAY FOR THE TWO WARS WAGED ON CREDIT!

Pay for the two wars waged on credit!
Republican pledges to the 1% have no merit!
Ignore the 1% litanies of hate!
Return taxes to Ike's top rate!

THE 99% MUST FIGHT FOR REPRESENTATION

The Republican Party is working to take democracy away.
The 99% must insure democracy in America is here to stay.
American democracy of our fathers must again be won.
Act now or democracy in America soon will be gone.

Join the 99% revolution!

Eliminate the power of the 1% 
To take over the u.s. Government.

Don't quit!  Keep the faith!  We must win!
Stand up!  Fight back!  Again, and again!

Vote for a true and genuine representative government 
In all the city, county, state, and federal elections. 
Vote for true and genuine progressive democrats!

For Clarification:
I am with the 99% wholeheartedly.
I am glad so many are manning the OWS movement all over the country.  

Can we try to take over the Democratic Party since they have some progressives?

There are no progressives in the Republican party.

Congress is where the power is.

The president would be controlled by a veto proof congress.

I think that the only way to take over Congress is to put as many progressive democrats
(small d democrats) in Congress as possible.

The 99% are not represented in this Congress. Mostly the 1% are.

The 99% must fight for representation in Congress.

That is why I say in my poem:

Help the 99% revolution takeover congress!
Vote for a true and genuine representative government,
in all the city, county, state, and federal elections.

Democrats Should Propose a 1% Transaction Tax

 



Democrats should propose a 1% transaction tax that will raise 11.7 trillion dollars over 9 years or 1.3 trillion per year.

That amounts to 33.3 times higher than the Democrats' proposed minuscule .03% transaction tax. (.0003 x 33.333 = 1%).

Instead “The Wall Street Trading and Speculators Tax Act” proposes a minuscule tax of .03% n financial transactions.

That amounts to a tax of 3 cents on a $100 (.0003 x $100). The miniscule proposed tax is estimated to raise $350 billion over the next nine years. That amounts to about 39 billion dollars in tax revenue per year. (only 3% of the revenue of a 1% miniscule tax.)

A weak minuscule transaction tax system should not be instituted because it will perpetuate the greed and moral corruption of market speculators and manipulators.

A minuscule transaction tax will serve to perpetuate a system of market manipulation that will bring about financial crisis after financial crisis and eventually destroy the middle class.

The minuscule transaction tax as a revenue source does not consider the financial harm done to the middle class by wanton market speculation.

A minuscule transaction tax will continue to allow bubble after bubble to be created until finally the "big to fail" banks get another buyout and the middle class gets another sellout.

We've seen it happen!  

We get it! We've been there!

The 99% are demonstrating in the streets throughout the United States.

Wanton financial market speculation by enormous hedge funds manipulates the markets to extract wealth from the middle class for the benefit of the 1%.

A 1% transaction tax is a win, win proposition.

Perhaps a 1% transaction tax won't stop financial market manipulation.

Maybe a 1% transaction tax won't even slow down the market manipulators.

If not, then a 1% transaction tax will raise 11.7 trillion dollars over 9 years or 1.3 trillion per year. That amounts to 33.3 times higher than the proposed minuscule .03% transaction tax. (.0003 x 33.333 = 1%).

Perpetuating the present system of financial market speculation can only give us more of what we got!

LOS ANGELES’ VOTE HEARD AROUND THE WORLD



Los Angeles' vote was heard the world.

Signaling new hope for democracy unfurled.

LA's vote of December 6, 2011 will go down in history.

Who controls the U.S. Government is not a mystery.



“Citizens United” allows bought politicians set our country’s course.

This Supreme Court decision is greed and corruption without remorse.

“Citizens United” sends government corruption up like a rocket.

The 1% has the United States Government in their pocket.



In the Unites States, both red and blue, “We the People reside.

With the 1% and the Supreme Court “We the People” divide.

80% of Americans are against the “Citizen's United” decision.

This errant act by the U.S. Supreme Court ignited a revolution.



The 1% have corrupted American Government long enough.

“We the People” must remove the Congressional money trough.

LA voted for a democracy saving U.S. Constitution Amendment.

Eliminate the power of the 1% to take over the U.S. Government.



Democracy in America must be here to stay.

The 99% must help “THE MOVE TO AMEND” save American Democray.

Regain the American dream: JOIN THE RACE TO AMEND!




“In 2012, Move to Amend and Move to Amend Los Angeles are kicking off the Race to Amend, a relay race of Americans running, walking, skating and biking across the country to galvanize support for this critical issue for our democracy. We will carry the U.S. Constitution, like the Olympic Torch, from person to person in a continuous chain of democracy activists. Along the way, a support team will do teach-in about Citizen's United, how corporations have hijacked our democracy and what we can do about it.

We, the People of the United States of America, reject the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in Citizens United decision, and move to amend our Constitution to firmly establish that money is not speech, and that human beings, not corporations, are persons entitled to constitutional rights. In a democracy, the people rule.”
