Let's get a simple message out there: NEED BEFORE GREED

There's a simple distinction between us and them. The same distinction exists between what will save and elevate our Nation and what, if continued, will destroy it: NEED BEFORE GREED. What is America anyway? Her people? Her land? Both have immediate needs; those things which the Democratic party has traditionally stood for:

What we NEED:

American jobs that pay a living wage

Health care for all

Quality education for all: knowledge is STRENGTH

Renewable energy sources

Clean air and water

Safe, nutritious food

A healthy environment that can sustain all life into the future

A secure retirement

Equality for all

(add your own)


And then there are the things that are destroying us; those items that the GOP has traditionally stood for:

What is GREED:

War for profit

Tax cuts for the wealthy

Big polluters

Unethical usury

Privatization: charging taxpayers more to enrich the wealthy

Outsourcing American jobs

Tax cuts for outsourcing corporations

Unregulated insurance companies

Pricing the poor out of healthcare

Overpriced drugs

Unsafe and unethical factory farming

Mountaintop removal

Underfunded schools

Union busting

(add your own)

And to the repugs out there, remember: Jesus favored the NEEDY, Not the GREEDY

;-)

apparently Rich people are not smart enough to even play a simple game.

might cut through their thickness. Health care, safe food, a roof over one's head, a safe job with equitable pay...these things are not LUXURIES, they are NEEDS. Luxuries include spending billions on new ways of killing people who don't threaten us, and for those who do threaten us? Two things: intelligence and innovation (you need a good education for both). You fight terrorism with translators and intelligence-you STOP terrorism from happening by getting the f*ck out of THEIR country and developing your own green renewable fuel resources at home; these things are NEEDS. Padding a Wall Street banker's portfolio or bailing out a bank when they mismanaged their money is a luxury; a want from an already spoiled child. We can't indulge them anymore. If resources are indeed limited, then we must focus on need before greed from this point on!

;-)

but if it would attract any attention from gamers that can't be a bad thing.

Everquest, World of warcraft, etc.

need before greed pertains to the thought that people who need an item should get preference over people who just want to sell the item.

And thanks for the definition! :hi:
