Revenue coming into this Govt. lowest in 60 years. 1% tax breaks VS 99% paying for the rich.

Chanied CPI is supported for and by the 1%... It is not a minor tweak like the 1% want you to think...

60% of new jobs are low wage jobs...

Balance the budget on the backs of the most vulnerable of the 60% via Paul Ryan's proposal....

Walmart got huge tax break.....

Distribution of income-All new income gains 2009-2011-came from 1%-99% gained nothing.

15 American Companies using off shore tax havens should go to the cayman island the next time they want a tax bail out....

Bank of America-nothing in Federal tax, but got a refund 1.9 billion....

G.E.- no federal tax but refund 3 billion

Goldman Sachs

etc...

Don't balance the budget on the back on Vets....

Lets face it, we need to reform how our politicians are elected. They do not need to spend 90% of their time fund raising instead of the nation's business. They do not need to take campaign contributions (bribes) in return for doing some groups business at our expense. Parties do not matter much anymore.

this information well understood by many.... It hardly seems reasonable to tax the unemployed when we won't tax the obscenely rich... but instead give them a refund...
